                                           To whom this may concern:
Starting this 2011-2012 season, our registration opportunities for the West
Allegheny Aqua Club will be held in September only for all groups with the
exception of our Ripples group.  Our Ripple group is a 10-12 week session with
sign-ups in Sept. and January.  Our January registration period is open only to the
Ripples group which consists of elementary age, beginner swimmers.  We will
have an open registration for all groups once again in May for our summer team.

We do not want to discourage anyone from swimming or to try it out, but we are a
team, and we have a season just as any other sport.  Our season is September
through March.  If you wanted the opportunity to train with the West Allegheny
Aqua Club, you will still have the chance to register at this time.  Contact
information and the registration forms and practice times are all available to you
on our website.  www.waswim.org

Thank you,
West Allegheny Aqua Club Board of Directors
