Like to swim and team sports, then WES is the spot for you! Swim Team Our goal at WES is to promote participation of all our swimmers and build team spirit. Our lifeguards are qualified to teach the swimmers proper technique to improve their strokes and times, which in turn gives the swimmers personal satisfaction. WES has an amazing tradition in swimming, as our 14 NAA championships would attest. We will be competing in the "A" Division this season. Meets are held Wednesday evenings throughout the summer. The ambience, spirit and energy of a Wednesday night meet is something special. Even if you don't participate on the swim team you should come and join the fun.
