Whether you are a new or returning Watermoc, we hope that you will find this summer’s swim season better than ever.
The Woodlea Watermocs is a recreational swim team that provides its members an opportunity to improve swimming skills, increase their confidence as swimmers, and exhibit good sportsmanship while participating in structured practices and friendly competition during Old Dominion Swim League sponsored swim meets.

Parent Volunteers
It takes LOTS of volunteers (about 30-35) to run our swim meets. Every job is important, but none require too much training. Each family is required to volunteer four times during the season. See Volunteers tab for complete details.

Swimsuits
Each team member is responsible for purchasing a swimsuit, either a team suit or a solid black suit. We will have the same swim caps, which are silver with the Woodlea Watermocs logo. Swim caps can be purchased from a board member during practices and meets. Swim suits and personalized swim caps are available on our spirit wear site.
Swim Suits can be ordered directly from our vendor at the following link:

The coach requests that all children have goggles. When choosing a pair of goggles, please keep in mind that they need to be sized accordingly. All swimmers with hair long enough to reach their eyes should wear swim caps for practice as well as meets. It is very difficult to learn proper stroke mechanics if a child is struggling with a mouth full of hair! Our coaches highly encourage all swimmers under 8 years of age to have a pair of child size swim fins for use during practice.
Questions?
Contact a Board Member with any questions regarding the registration process or any information about the team.
We look forward to having you join the Woodlea Watermocs and are excited for another great season!
