About
The Woodside Swim Team is an opportunity for children to enhance their swimming ability while focusing on sportsmanship, team work, and having fun. There are about 100 swimmers on our team which means multiple swimmers per lane during practices. In order to ensure the safety of all of our children, new swimmers will be asked to demonstrate basic swimming skills. A child who is unable to make it across the pool without touching the bottom will be offered small group assistance with a volunteer coach. The goal is to have all swimmers join the team by the first regular meet. Our coaches will focus on breathing, diving, and stroke and turn techniques to enhance swimming skills.
The team has a short season and every meet is important to the TEAM. Although many events are individual events, we are still one team. Please try to make every effort to participate in all of the meets on our schedule. We understand it is summer and you may be away. We understand that last minute changes and illnesses are unavoidable. Should any changes arise during the season, please let the head coach know as soon as possible.
