WEST is a competitive swim program composed of the following groups:

Early Competitive Development
The White & Green groups are for the youngest and most inexperienced swimmers on the team. Swimmers typically enter these groups from lesson programs, summer teams, or other competitive teams. Blue group swimmers are the most advanced of the novice groups and are introduced to training sets and racing skills. Coaches spend the majority of time assuring swimmer ease in a competitive group, skill development, general fitness and having fun while growing in a competitive yet nurturing environment.

Training, Focus and Racing Development
Swimmers in Age Group and AGA have a basic set of swimming technique, training and racing skills that are developed to prepare them for higher levels of performance and skills culminating in the transition to senior swimming. The concept of “fun” takes on new meaning as swimmers learn to race and swim fast during practice while maintaining proper form utilizing newly learned skills.

Senior Developmental
These senior groups are for older swimmers not ready for the high level training and competition that our top level group entails. Swimmers needs and goals range from general fitness and learning a new sport to developing the focus and skills needed to progress up to our highest level Senior I group. High School team swimmers are encouraged to begin or maintain their training with WEST to maximize performance gains at high school meets.

Senior Advanced
Swimmers 13 and older who have attained high level requisite skills, focus and performance are invited to join our team’s top level groups. Focus now turns to training and refinement of skills and technique with goals ranging from making Senior Sectional standards to the highest level national meets. Preparation for the challenges of college and the possibilities of continuation of swimming at that level are stressed. At this level, WEST is the swimmer’s top extracurricular activity.
