Welcome to the Village of WestClay Swim Team Website!

The Village of WestClay Swim team, also known as the VWC Vortex, is a summer swim team for neighborhood children ages 4-14. Our goal is to provide swimmers with a chance to improve their stroke technique, have fun, and be part of a team! Our season is short, only 6 weeks in total, yet action packed with 5 swim meets and practice offered each weekday.

A dedicated committee runs all aspects of the program. You can find us listed under the "Coaches and Committee" tab, and we welcome your feedback, questions, or suggestions.

We look forward to a great 2009 summer swim season!
