Hello Westwood Wave Parents!

Please watch the video below with your new or younger swimmer(s) and help them choose at least one of the five items to focus on in practice this week. Returning and older swimmers need work in these areas as well, so please encourage them to watch it. Correcting even one of these five common mistakes will improve your child’s freestyle dramatically, and could prevent shoulder injury, as well.
