GOODSTUFF MEET- NC Central University: May 17-18
The next meet for Dolphin swimmers BB & above is the RSA Goodstuff invitational. The scratch deadline for the meet is Friday, May 2nd. Please email coach Brian if you will not be attending. This would be a great meet for you to start off the Long Course Season. It would be afternoons only for these swimmers. I will have info posted on the bulletin board.

Volunteers for Goodstuff Meet
We still need volunteers to work the Goodstuff Swim Meet (May 16-18 @ NC Central in Durham)  There is a sign-up sheet in the Candler Lobby

SWIM- A-THON 2003
The 2003 Swim-A-Thon will take place the week of May 12th. This will be held both at Candler and Pullen, depending on your practices. Please begin to start getting pledges from people. We need 100% participation from everyone to make this a great event.

As you all know the we will be doing our swim-a-thon during the week of May 12^th.  This is our last week swimming at Candler.  Here are some things to remember about the swim-a-thon

1. This is a fund raiser that goes toward your family obligation
2. Please start to gather up people to start pledging per lap
3. Your swimmer has 2 hours to swim 200 laps or do as many as he/she can in that time
4. Please have someone to count for your swimmer.
5. We need a great turnout for this, prizes will be given out to the swimmer who can raise the most money.

So moms, or dads, get your best ideas out of the family cook book and get ready to WOW everyone with your culinary expertise. Every RSA swimmer will receive an award at the banquet, as well as group and age group individual awards. Please make every effort to attend, as we hope everyone is in attendance to celebrate this truly historic season in the long history of the Raleigh Swimming Association.
