ABOUT WST
The Wellington Swim Team (WST) is a non-profit organization. Our purpose is to provide opportunities for swimmers 18 years and under residing in the City of Manassas, Prince William, and adjacent cities and counties to participate in a competitive swim program during the summer of each year. WST has a long history in Manassas. Its orignial members were once part of the Manassas Swim Team (MST), which swam at the private Manassas Swim Club pool located on Taney Road which is now the Jeff Rouse Aquatic Center. In the early 1990s, with the development of the Wellington Community, members of the MST approached the community of Wellington and proposed a new home for their team. A deal was struck, a 10-lane pool was built, and MST packed up their lane lines and moved into their new home. In honor of their new community, the Manassas Swim Team was reborn as the Wellington Dolphins. Many team records set by members of the MST still stand to this day.The Wellington Swim Team is a member of the Prince William Swim League, which is sanctioned by the Virginia Association of the Amateur Athletic Union (VAAU). Swimming is a healthy, competitive sport which affords great psychological and physiological benefits. Developing quality swimmers is only one of WSTs goals for this program. WST also strives to instill sportsmanship, respect for others, and team pride! WST typically has about 200 swimmers each summer. The four competitive strokes are mastered-Freestyle, Backstroke, Breaststroke and Butterfly. Swimmers also participate in Individual Medley and Relay events. Practices are offered in the mornings and the evenings once school is out. Meets are held on Saturday Mornings through the end of July. The parents tend to have fun too! We swim every summer from the Tuesday after Memorial Day at the Wellington Pool located at 9700 Wellington Road. The facility has a fabulous 10-lane pool that is the envy of the PWSL.We can accept any child between ages 5 and 18 who can swim 25 meters unassisted.Our Coach may assess your childs ability to determine eligibility. You do not need to live in Wellington to join

************************************************************************************
Please remember that we have an Open House Registration tomorrow, Thursday, March 4th from 6:30 to 8:30 P.M. at the Wellington Clubhouse. This replaces the Saturday open house, which was moved to Thursday.
Cassells will be on hand to take orders for the new BOD approved "2010 and Beyond" Wellington Dolphins official Team Suit (which is rumored to have super powers!) and for a limited time, will come with a FREE WST Dolphin Swim Cap. We have a limited number of caps available, so this offer ends when the caps are gone. If you have already ordered a suit, we have set aside a cap to be delivered to you with your order.
Registration prices go up on March 31st, so come see us if you have not yet registered.

March 2:
Due to several availability issues, Saturday's Open House Registration event has been moved to THIS Thursday, March 4th from 6:30 to 8:30 P.M. at the Wellington Clubhouse. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes.
Registration rates are $110 for the first swimmer, $100 for the second, and $90 for the third plus swimmer(s). Rates go up on April 1st.
Registration and Medical forms can be printed from the website. (Note that the registration form is electronic. You can complete the fields, then print. Save time and wear and tear on your pen!)
If you are unable to attend an Open House, please know that you can always submit your registration by mail. Our mailing address is available on the Contact Us page of the website.
Cassell's Sports will be on hand to take Team Suit orders and give you the opportunity to purchase other swim gear such as practice suits, goggles, fins, etc. (They bring a mini store with them!)
If you are participating in the Pre-Season Swim program, Coach Noah tells us that he plans on using fins as a training tool. If you do not have fins, Cassells sells them at Open House.
February 22:
Reminder that this is the last week to register and take advantage of the discounted rate of $100 for the first swimmer, $90 for the second, and $80 for the third plus. As of March 1st, rates change to $110/$100/$90. You can register by mail : send forms and payment to the mailing address on the Contact Us page. Our next Open House Registration event will be held on March 6th.
The WST Pre-Season Swim Program is full. An email has been sent to all the families who have been enrolled.
February 18:
The WST Pre-Season Swim Program is full. We will be sending registration confirmation to everyone by the weekend.
February 17:
A reminder to everyone that we will be finally holding our first Open-House Registration event tonight, February 17th from 6:30 to 8:30 P.M. at the Wellington Clubhouse at 9700 Wellington Road.
Many thanks to everyone for being patient and understanding with the twice rescheduling of this event. The recent snows have certainly presented a challenge for everyone!
Our first priority with this registration is to finalize the list of Dolphins for our Pre-Season program. A handful of registrations have been mailed in. We hope to collect the rest this evening, especially from those of you who had indicated via email that you would be interested in the program. There has been a high interest in the program, so we need to determine a final list so that we can offer unclaimed slots fairly on a first-come, first serve basis.
Some other need to knows:
Please use caution with the parking lot and sidewalks around the community center. There are parking spaces that have been cleared, but please use common sense, as there is still a lot of snow on the ground.
If you are coming to order a new team suit, Cassels DOES accept credit cards as a method of payment.
There will be blank registration and medical forms available.
WST can accept Checks, Money Orders, Cash. We can not accept credit cards for registration fees.
If you are bringing with you paperwork that is already completed, PLEASE remember that we must have a medical authorization form completed for EACH child you are registering.
Forms are available on the JOIN WST page.
Also, if you are coming by to drop off donations for Mayfield Intermediate, we plan on having parents on hand to help receive anything you bring. If you are bringing things, PLEASE don't take them upstairs, especially if it is heavy; items can be left in the downstairs foyer.
Mayfield items can also be dropped off at the Manassas Boys and Girls Club from 4:00 to 7:00 P.M. for the remainder of the week. They are still asking for book donations, and it has been suggested donating Blue Trade slips from McKay's used books. If you have any unused Blue Trade, the teachers would be thrilled to get it. OR, consider if you have used books you don't want to keep, trade them in at McKay's for credit, and donate the Blue Trade slip to Mayfield.
Donations of cash, checks, gift cards, McKay's Used Book vouchers can also be mailed directly to the school at:
Mayfield Bookkeeper-MCPS Finance Dept.
9000 Tudor Lane
Manassas, VA 20110
If you have any questions about registration, or donations for Mayfield, send us an email.
February 13:
WST is offering assistance to the displaced staff and students of Mayfield Intermediate School.
Please read the document posted on the Welcome Page for detailed information on how you can help.
WST/Mayfield parents will be available on Wednesday at the Wellington Clubhouse during the Open House registration to accept donations.

Practice Rules
There will be absolutely no horseplay during practice! This includes running on deck, playing around during instruction splashing, etc. If you do not understand instructions, tell the Coach immediately. There will be no hanging on the lane lines during practice.No diving unless instructed to do so by a Coach. (Shallow diving areas are dangerous.) When entering the water, always enter feet-first.When doing laps, always swim on the right side of the lane closest to the lane rope or wall (this is known as circle swimming). If you need to pass another swimmer when doing laps, very softly, gently, touch that swimmer on the foot and go around doing freestyle, then resume the stroke or drill you were doing. Everyone will swim all the way to the wall (not stop short), and move over to allow room for the next swimmer. THE DIVING BOARD IS OFF LIMITS TO EVERYONE AT ALL TIMES DURING WELLINGTON SWIM TEAM FUNCTIONS!

COACHES' CORNER
Christine Souther and Natalie Sterling Join Coaching Staff
The Wellington Swim Team Board is excited to have Christine Souther and Natalie Sterling join the coaching staff.
About Christine:
"I am currently a member of the Curl Burke year round competition swim team and swim with the Senior Elite swim group 5+ days a week. I have been swimming for competition swim teams year round for the past 6 years. In 2004, I started swimming with the Mason Makos for 3 years, then I was a member of the Patriots for 1 year and for the past 2 years, I have been swimming with Curl Burke Swim Club's Senior Team under Coach Jeremy Linn.
I am also been a member of the Osbourn Park High School Swim Team. I have been on the team for my freshman and sophomore years in high school.
I have 2 years coaching experience with the Victory Lakes Piranhas summer swim program and 2 years coaching experience with the Victory Lakes Piranhas winter swim program. I have also provided paid private lessons to members of the Piranhas swim team and swimmers in the neighborhood for the past 2 summers.
I was a volunteer swim coach for Special Olympics during their winter program in 2009. I assisted coaching swimmers to improve stroke techniques and assisted beginning level swimmers with basic skills."
About Natalie:
"I have been competitively swimming since I was eight years old. I currently swim with Curl-Burke Swim Club's Senior Team under Coach Jeremy Linn. I have been an assistant coach on the Ben Lomond Ducks for the 2007-2008 summer season (that includes winter training), and work especially well with the youngest swimmers! I am a Senior and I am graduating from Osbourn Park High School in the top 5% of my class and plan on taking a Navy ROTC scholarship to Virginia Tech. I am also a member of National Honor Society and Key Club so I volunteer with various organizations such as USO, SERVE, and the Prince William County Animal Shelter."

Check the Swim Meet page each week for volunteer assignments.
VOLUNTEER
Parent and family participation as volunteers is a must for effective management and operation of the team. In order to ensure adequate support during time trials, six regular dual meets and a divisional championship meet, each family is required to volunteer one to two hours each week (NO LESS THAN 15 HOURS) to help run the swim meets safely and efficiently. For each home meet, we need to staff about 40 individual workstations around the pool at all times. All families participating in Divisionals are required to work at least one volunteer shift. These meets are huge and require everyone to help.
Volunteer positions are managed by committees , sub-committees and overseen by Committee Chairs. If you are interested in serving as a Committee Chair, please let us know.
When you register, please indicate the volunteer positions you are most interested in. The Committee Chair will work with you to ensure that all your volunteer obligations are met.
Meet and Pool Operations Support Commitee - Chair: TBD
Clerk of Course
The Clerk of Course Lead is responsible for all of the paperwork at the meet prior to the swimmer's event. Swimmers report to the clerk prior to their scheduled event to receive an event card with their heat and lane assignment for that event.
At the Clerk of Course each swimmer is seeded in each event to a heat and lane according to their submitted entry time. The clerk is always in need of volunteers to help hand out event cards, get swimmers in their proper order, and walk young swimmers to their assigned lane at the start of their event. For the 8 and under events, additional helpers are needed to move the train of tiny athletes to the starting positions without losing any. The Clerk of Course requires training at the league certification clinic for officials; assistants do not require training.
Head Timer/Timers
At the beginning of each season, we look for two people (usually a couple) to act as Head Timer and Recorder. This position is in charge of giving instructions to the timers and recorders at the beginning of the meet (Timers Meeting), serving as a back-up timer for all lanes during races, and maintain the teams stop watch supply. The Head Timer is also responsible for attending away meets with WST watches and offering assistance to the host team as needed.
Timers are where most parents start as volunteers. The only skill or knowledge required is the working of a stopwatch. The most important single statistic at a swim meet is the time a swimmer achieved during their race. This is also the "best seat in the house"- right at the finish! 30 lane timers and 1 head timer/ team are needed at each home meet; 27 lane timers and 1 head timer/team at away meets. There are three shifts a meet with timers generally working one to one-and a half-hour shifts during each meet
Parent Volunteer Lifeguards
For the safety of all our swimmers and visitors, and to comply with the requirements of the Wellington HOA, we are required to have lifeguard coverage at all of our meets and practices. Wellington parents can volunteer to become Lifeguard and CPR certified to fulfill this VITAL position. WST has a parent who is a certified trainer and holds classes every season.
Volunteers must be fully trained and certified.
Marshal
Marshals are required primarily for Divisionals and to help control traffic flow in and around the pool deck to prevent injury or interference with meet operations.
Runner
Runners take results from the recorders and get them to the scorers after each heat.
Recording
Recorders work with timers at the lanes to record the swimmers times. In addition they have a very important job of ensuring the right swimmer is swimming in the right heat and lane before the start. This is a sit-down job for those of you who are unable to stand for long periods of time.
Scoring
Scorers take the time cards from the recorders and determine the official time that will be entered for each swimmer. The scorers also collect Disqualification slips (DQs) from the Head Referee and marry these to the swimmers time card. This is a sit-down job in the shade.
Officials/ Stroke and Turn Judges
Stroke and Turn Judges are responsible for ensuring swimmers comply with the rules relating to each stroke/turn. Referees and Starters are volunteers with at least 2-3 years experience as Stroke and Turn Judges.
Special training is required for these positions. League Clinics are held at the beginning of each season for anyone interested. Contact us if you are interested in learning this position.
Verifying
Verifiers work with the scorers (often the same people) review a print-out of meet results from the computer support volunteer and verify that the data entry was done correctly. If any errors (typos) were made, the verifier brings this to the computer support volunteers attention so the correction can be made.
Logistics Support Committee - Chair: TBD
Ribbons
Ribbon Writers or, more accurately, ribbon label stickers, place the labels with names of the swimmers on their ribbon after each event. (Another shady job!)
Heat Ribbons
Stands poolside near the timers and awards a heat ribbon to the winner of each heat. An exciting and very satisfying position.
Water Runner
Vital for when it is HOT! Walks the pool deck providing water to parents in volunteer positions where they have a post they can not leave such as recorder, timer, or Stroke and Turn.
Concessions
A meeting is held the week before a meet to decide the shopping list and concession offerings. On the day of the meet, the volunteers handle set-up, sales and clean-up of the concession area. A job in the shade!
Meet Set-up/Clean-up
Beginning when the pool closes to the public on Friday nights, we prepare the deck for the meet. Everyone is welcome to come help and log volunteer hours.
By 12 noon to get the pool ready to re-open to the public. All families are encouraged to clean up after themselves and to help clean up after our guests at every meet.
Technology Support Committee - Chair: Jennifer Whiteree
Computer Support
The Computer Operator is responsible for electronic meet entries prior to the swim meet and data entry of meet results at the meet. The biggest part of this job is done the week prior to a swim meet; getting all meet entries entered into the computer and printing event cards for the Clerk of Course. The computer operator always needs a volunteer or two on the day of the meet to help enter event results. This is another job in the shade, as well as the inside scoop on event results and meet scoring.
