Woodside High School Swim Team

Interested in coming out for the swim team for 2025? Here are a few things to ask yourself if you are serious about joining the team:

• Can I commit to 2 hours of swimming/practice per day? Practices last up to 2 hours and swimmers are REQUIRED to come to practices. Additionally, more practicing means more success and improvement throughout the season
• Am I willing to put in more effort with my school work and possibly go to additional office hours to make up my missing work? Swimmers will be attending weekly meets (half of the meets are off campus). Because of this students will be leaving class early and need to make up their missing work. If you can stay on top of your school work, that will be helpful for the season.
• Can I be a part of a team and show my friends what it means to be a Woodside athelete? Woodside athletics are exciting and a fun way to become involved in your school! Being a part of the team means showing respect for yourself, your school, your teammates and the sport.

If you answered YES to these questions the come out for swim team! If you have any questions please contact us. Looking forward to seeing you around the pool!

P.E. Credit for After School Sports Rule

• 3 Seasons of after school sports (Swim all 4 years) allows you to skip a second year of P.E.
