Parental Information Sessions – The ins and outs of competitive swimming and club operations can result in a lot of questions for families of any experience level. And the WTSC Board of Directors and Coaching Staff want to help you get answers to those questions. WTSC will hold “open house” information sessions for any parents with questions about the various aspects of the sport and the team. These sessions will all be from 6:15-7:15pm in the pool classroom on the following dates:

 

  • April 29 & May 28 – These sessions will be with WTSC Head Coach Josh Saylor and will be focused on the “wet side” of the sport, meaning any topics related to training and competition.
  • April 30 & May 29 – These sessions will be with a WTSC Board Member and will be focused on the “dry side” of the sport, meaning any topics related to billing, policies and procedures and so on.

 

WTSC Social Media – Please help promote our team and stay connected to everything that we have going on by following us on Facebook at Washington Township Swim Club and Instagram @washingtontownshipswimclub. When you or your swimmers post anything about the team, be sure to use the hashtag #swimWTSC and tag the club account on the picture.
