December 2004

Hello All,

Our first month here at Westside Aquatics has been an exciting one. We have added additional pool time on Saturdays and started our dry land program. We are continuing to grow as we have added seven additional team members since our inception on November 1.

Our very own Alexa Merz has signed a letter of intent with Stanford. You can go to the following link to read the press release:

I will be with Alexa in San Antonio starting December 1 for the US Open. Chappie Dehaven (Former PALY coach and USC swimmer) will be covering for the Senior Team on Thursday and Saturday. A few of our swimmers are swimming well in college: Katie Smith at SDSU, Dan Fox at The College of New Jersey, Greg Walther at UC Santa Cruz, and Cara Davidoff at Tulane. We had the opportunity to see some of them over Thanksgiving. We should see a few more over the Winter break.

December fees our due by Monday, December 6th. The fee schedule is as follows:

Pre-Competitive Program (For beginner swimmers coming out of lessons) $80 a month

Development Program (Swimmers ready for swim meets) $105 a month

Age Group Program (Competitive Age Group Swimmers) $115 a month

Senior Team (High School age and above) $130 a month
