Welcome to the Rats' Nest
Rats On A Roll
The Rats have come back from their mid-season break with a vengeance. A visit to Scottsdale Swim Club resulted in a number of impressive swims and a resounding victory for REST. The momentum was then carried into City Meet, where the Rats went wild in the pool and captured the 2nd place trophy among Division II teams.
The team's success to this point is a testament to the hard work and dedication being put in by everyone involved: parents, coaches, and most especially swimmers. Let's keep it up and take our winning ways all the way to Conference Meet!
GO RATS!
Conference Meet Jobs
It's time to get in gear for the Conference Meet. The meet takes place this year July 31 and August 1 at Miramonte High School. Organizers rely on parent help to keep the meet running smoothly, and there are plenty of opportunities to volunteer. Each team must supply timers, marshals, recorders, clerk-of-the-course workers, and set-up/clean-up crews. Every family swimming this meet must sign up for a job - including parents of 15-18s and Board members!
A "work opportunities" sign-up poster has been posted at the pool. Some positions, such as marshal and clerk-of-the-course, have been broken down into three shifts because they are longer. Others, like timer and recorder, have either morning or afternoon time slots.
Take special note of the stroke-and-turn jobs! We need our qualified people to step up! All-day people are preferred (and will get a free Morucci's lunch!), but the job can be shared. Stroke and turn workers follow a traditional two shifts on, one rest shift format.
If you have questions about any of the meet jobs, please contact or (click name to send email). In addition, if you can't get to the pool this week and already have a preference, send an email with your options to Karen and she will sign up for you!
