Meets:
Throughout the Winter and Spring Sessions, PWSC will plan to
attend one meet per month. During the Summer Session there is
usually a meet every weekend. (Meets will post online as the
information becomes available so please check calendar often.) It
is up to each of you, as parents, to decide if you want your child
to attend a meet. A few weeks before each meet, you will
receive an email where you will be directed to either attend
or decline the meet on the PWSC website
(www.pueblowestswimclub.org). Coach will work with you and
your child to determine which events would be best for your child
to swim. The cost to swim at a meet is generally $3.00 to $10.00
per event that your child swims in. There is an entry fee at some
meets as well. Billing for the meet will usually occur prior to the
meet and payment will be due with the next months
“dues”. (If you sign up for the meet and do not swim
the meet, you are still responsible to pay for the events that you
missed and the entry fee.)
The PWSC offers team caps for $10.00 each.
Competition suits can be purchased and will generally cost
around $45.00 for a male suit and $55.00 for a female suit.
Periodically, we will also offer the ability to order team
shirts for parents and siblings.
We encourage parent involvement. There will be a parent meetings
scheduled as needed. Please try and make it to these meetings so
that you will remain informed regarding upcoming events and
changes. If you are unable to attend these meetings, the minutes
will be available to view online at pueblowestswimclub.org under
the "Meeting Minutes" tab on the home page or you can
contact:

During meets, parents may be asked to assist with timing, place
picking and various other duties so please be prepared to assist.
Our swim club will also host at least one meet of our own each year
and the only way to make this a success is for parents to
contribute their time and assist with duties, finding sponsors and
donations. This event is what helps us keep our costs down and is
the main fundraiser for our club. Again, thank you for allowing us
to work with your child, and please feel free to contact the Coach
or any Board Member if you have any questions, concerns or
comments.
