New Swimmer Information/Evaluations
Evaluations are held for swimmers who have never been part of the WEST Express Swim Club or have not participated in the club during the past year.
Your swimmer should be able to swim 25 - 50 yards of freestyle and backstroke comfortably without stopping. They should also be comfortable in shallow and deep water. Generally, swimmers are at least six years old.
––––– We are not a "Learn to Swim" program. –––––
New swimmers to WEST Express must meet with the coaching staff for an evaluation. No swimmer should register before meeting the coaching staff. If you have any further questions, please get in touch with Head Coach Heidi Miler at [email protected]
