Welcome Back, WST Families!
Coach Updates:
We would like to announce some staffing changes for the 2014 WST season. As you may or may not already know, Sam and Maddie are both graduating from their respective colleges this spring. Maddie recently shared with us that she will be studying Portuguese at the Middlebury Language school, and she will not be able to coach this summer. Sam has also stepped down for 2014, as he is now working full time with the Boys and Girls Club in Dorchester, MA directing their film program, and he is also busy planning his summer wedding! So while it is hard to say goodbye, it is impossible not to be thrilled for them both. Congratulations and best wishes to you both!
Fortunately for all of us, change can also be a time for new opportunity. We are pleased to announce that Alex Vutech, a college swimmer with a long and successful history with WST, will be joining us as our head coach this summer. She is an energetic, enthusiastic and multi-talented person, and we are fortunate to have her. We have a terrific crew of new and returning coaches, and we all look toward to guiding your swimmers through the summer season at Woodstock.
Registration Night:
We hope you will join the WST coaches for a "meet-and-greet" at registration night on Thursday, June 5th from 5:30-7:30pm. Your swimmers can also try on and order swim suits. This is the best time to order suits for the summer season, and we strongly recommend ordering early. Suits ordered after this time will likely not arrive in time for the early part of the season.
Stroke and Turn Officials:
We need officials. It's not scary, and if you have been associated with the team for one or two years, we need you! The League provides free training and it's local! June 30th at 6:30pm in Quechee. Please contact us if you're remotely curious, interested or want to volunteer someone! We will be so grateful to have your help.
Finally, please spread the word about WST!
Happy Swimming,
Nicola, Alex and the WST Coaches
