Good News! We are seeded first in Division B next year! We will compete against Woodley Gardens, Potomac Glen, Quince Orchard, Potomac Woods and Manchester Farms.

I also want to take this opportunity to thank Ellen Fishkin for another great Banquet last night. Brad and Ann Newsom also deserve our gratitude for bringing a generator and hooking it up so we could have our DJ and slideshow (and FANS!). It was a very hot, but fun night!

Hello All ~

We had our final A meet of the season yesterday. Amongst all of the hula girls (and guys), palm trees and the smoking volcano, you could find the WINNING TEAM! Yes, the final score was Westleigh 439 – Flower Valley 353! Way to go Westleigh!

A BIG thank you to all that helped out at this morning’s Rock-n-Roll mini meet. Read the rest of this entry »

This is a very busy week! Yesterday, we travelled to Bethesda to swim against the other Barracudas in the pouring rain. At the end of that meet, the parents were just as wet as the swimmers! The final score was Westleigh 334 – Bethesda 457. Are we enjoying Division A? (that is a rhetorical question!) Regardless of the scores, we are getting personal best times and having fun…even in the pouring rain!

Today, we went to Upper County for the A Relay Carnival. Read the rest of this entry »

Hello Barracudas!

I hope everyone had a fun and safe 4th of July! We started the holiday weekend with our 3rd A Meet of the season at RMSC against the Rockville Rays. The final score was Rockville 528 – Westleigh 261. I continue to be impressed with how our kids just keep on getting faster and faster, and smiling the whole way. Our swimmers achieved tons of all-star times and 67 personal best times at this meet, and had fun doing it. Way to go Westleigh!
