Dear Swimmers and Parents:

Welcome to the West Texas Typhoon Swim Club. You have chosen one of the finest and most unique swim organizations in the city of El Paso. WETT is a year-round competitive swim team registered with USA Swimming and the Border Swimming Association. The WETT program is designed to provide professional technique instruction and training for young people ages 5–20.

The WETT swim team was created out of a passion for swimming and raising kids. A group of parents and two coaches came together to try to create a team that provided an opportunity for young people to experience competitive swimming while developing six essential components of the whole self—physical strength, inner strength, talent, intellect, emotions, and spirit. By designing a program that balances these six components, it was believed that young swimmers could become successful athletes and responsible adults.

The team is an extended family. We spend a lot of time together and see each other often. We have holiday parties for our swimmers, tailgate parties for the parents, and car pools that help each other meet the demanding schedule. We are always searching for better and more innovative programs that will help our young athletes grow into successful adults. We look to other successful swim programs to help mentor and improve our team. We provide travel opportunities so our athletes may challenge their abilities and experience the world from other perspectives. To this end, the number of swimmers on our team is limited in order to continually promote the balanced approach nurtured by our swim club.
 

Registration will take place at the El Paso Tennis and Swim Club on Saturday, August 25, 2007, from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m., followed by a swim party at 5:00 p.m. 

Please click here for a complete copy of our Parents' Handbook. For best viewing of the Handbook we recommend saving it to you hard-drive.

 

Please take time to read this handbook. It is designed to answer many questions about how our team operates. If you have additional questions please don’t hesitate to ask a veteran parent, coach, or board member for help. We look forward to an exciting 2007–2008 swim season.

 

Thanks!
