Stroke and Turn Clinics for Adults

The FINAL Stroke and Turn Clinic for the season will be held in Rutland on July 2nd.

It will be held at the Godnick Adult Center which is located on Deer Street off Woodstock Ave. You'll come down Route 4, past the high school and at the next light take a right onto Deer Street and then take the first left into the parking lot for Godnick Adult Center.

If you plan on attending, please contact Nicola, Betsy or Maddie.

Thanks!

Updated Meet Check Off Sheets

I neglected to include the Manchester Meet on our Meet Check Off lists. New sheets will be distributed at practices and will be posted on the WST bulletin board near the Lifeguard Office. If you have already submitted a sheet, we'll be in touch to find out if your swimmer can attend.

I apologize for the inconvenience.

Nicola

Updated Contact Address for Coaches

Starter's Clinic

There will be a Starter's Clinic provided at no cost to interested adults. We desperately need volunteers to help with this. The date and location of the clinic is to be determined. Please email wstcoaches@gmail.com if you think you might like to attend, and we will forward any relevant information.

Thanks,
WST Coaches

Stroke and Turn Clinics for Adults

Stroke and Turn Officials are vital to the success of our swimmers. Each year, our League requires WST to name at least four Stroke and Turn Officials, and we are obligated to train at least two new volunteers each year. There are unfortunate consequences if we do not have officials. First, we cannot hold meets if both teams cannot provide a combined minimum of three officials. Also, if our team does not have the at least two Stroke and Turn officials at each meet, we can be fined $50 per meet!

Please consider attending one of the Stroke and Turn Clinics, provided at no cost to you. You do not have to be a swim expert, just someone interested in learning more about swimming! You can help us hold swimmers accountable for their strokes, you get the best spots to watch meets, and you will be improving the quality of our league.

Please contact WST Coaches at wstcoaches@gmail.com if you are interested.

1. In Manchester: Tuesday, June 16th from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Probable location: the Manchester pool
2. In Rutland: Thursday, July 2nd from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Location: TBA

CONGRATULATIONS WST

Hi All

Congratulations to the WST State Team, who achieved third place in Division III. Awards were organized today by Ashley and are ready for pick up in the Rec. office. ALL SWIMMERS who participated in States earned some kind of award, so make sure to collect your hard earned goodies! Also, swimmers may find ribbons from earlier in the season, as well as certificates and top times reports that were handed out at the Picnic. Please stop by!

Don't forget...Gail still has some photo order forms also. There are proofs and many of them look great. If you want photos, you'll need the form ASAP.

Thank you again to all the volunteers and swimmers for a successful and enjoyable season. We'll be in touch next spring.

All the best,
Nicola, Ashley, and Sophie
