The Westleigh Swim Team was formed to provide an opportunity for children and teenagers under the age of 19 years, who are members of the Westleigh Recreation Club, to participate in the Montgomery County Swim League (MCSL). It provides an organized age-group swim program for the beginning swimmer to the most competitive and skilled swimmer. It is one unified team consisting of swimmers who compete in weekly swim meets and the preteam. Active Westleigh Swim Team members learn the life-long values of perseverance, sportsmanship, and teamwork.

The Westleigh Swim Team offers opportunities to participate in regular swim practices, “A” and “B” Swim Meets, Relay Carnivals, and the Divisional Championship. In addition, team members and their families help plan and participate in organized social events, a team field trip, and an end of the season banquet.

Hello Westleigh Swimmers and Families,

After coasting through a winter as warm as the one we just finished, it is not difficult to imagine sunny days on the Westleigh pool deck! 

Ten weeks from yesterday and counting…..

It is a pleasure to be back as your A Rep.  I look forward to a fun and exciting swim season.  Our first order of business is to announce that the swim team will be hiring one new Junior Coach to our staff this summer.  Interested applicants should send an email to me NO LATER than April 16th.  In that email, please include a resume if you have one.  In addition, the Swim Team Committee would like you to answer the following two questions:

  1. What coaching experience do you currently possess?
  2. Why do you want to be a coach for the Westleigh Swim Team?

Please note that you must be at least 15 years of age as of June 1st, 2012.  Also note that this position begins on Tuesday May 29th and runs through July 29th.  If you have any conflicts during that time, you must list them in your email response.
