A message from the swim team reps…..
“Take
your mark, get set, GO!!”
Let’s dive back into
summer full force with swim team registration and first practice
beginning May 6th.
WELCOME
BACK COACHES!
Our
entire coaching staff is coming back this year.
Coach Drew Childs returns for his fourth year coaching at
WSARC. Joining him, for
the second year running, is Coach Jeanine Buecheler,
the SHHS Girls Swim coach. TJ Southmayd will also be coming
back as Assistant Coach for his second year.
TJ swam for many years at WSARC.
COMMUNICATION
We
are also working hard to help new and veteran swim team families be
well informed about WSARC Swim Team.
Last year Karen Wolters started our “Swim Team E-News,”
and did a remarkable job keeping all swimmers and their families up
to date on swim team happenings.
If you are interested in swimming, joining for the first
year, or just need to update your email address, please email Karen
Wolters at kmwolters@comcast.net.
Just put
SWIM
TEAM
REGISTRATION in the subject line.
During registration we will also have a team handbook, which
is most helpful for new swimming parents.

DEVELOPMENTAL
SWIM
PROGRAM
Last year we launched our Developmental Swim Program – for
swimmers not quite ready for swim team.
This year, we are changing the program to include swimmers
who have completed the sharks class and/or are able to swim two full
laps of freestyle and backstroke, and are familiar with both
breastroke and butterfly. None
of these strokes need to be mastered.
WSARC’s developmental team will practice three times a week
for a half an hour, beginning the week of June 16th, the
first full week of morning practices.
Our goal is to have the developmental team competing in at
least one meet by mid-July.
All
Schedules and Updated Information will be coming via the Swim Team E
News within the next few weeks.
Hope
to see you there!
