Swim Team Volunteer Sign-Ups

May 4th, 2008

Ragin’ Ray Parents – We’re glad to have you new, or back, for the 2008 Season!  Reminder, we will have a  parents meeting at the same time as the first team practice, on May 10th. Continue to check the Echo Ridge website for updates.

In the meantime, it is very important that you REVIEW the VOLUNTEER ASSIGNMENTS, before May 5.  Please review it carefully for your name, as there were a few changes (no more ribbon writers, adding boarder patrol, and canceling the timed trials) that mixed things up.

If you did not put down a preference, you were probably assigned to Bull Pen for your swimmer’s age group, or Timers/Records for meets you indicated you would attend. T

If you would like to switch from the current position to any open position, please email beth_reichle@yahoo.com.  Also, please consider volunteering for any additional shifts you could handle, as we have many open volunteer positions (Yellow Rectangles are open and need volunteers!)

You can review the descriptions of the volunteer positions at:

Thanks, and we’ll see you on the 10th!

Lloyd, Curtis and Beth

Team Suit Swap - Memorial Day Practice

May 21st, 2008

There have been several inquiries about a Suit Swap.  If you have an team suit that you have outgrown, or need a larger/smaller suit due to new swimmers, and are interested in swapping suits, please bring your non-fitting team suits to practice on Monday morning (memorial day) to see if there are any teammates you can swap with! 

Also, Erin Chernow will not be at Monday’s practice, but has the following Echo suit available to swap:

We have a swim team boys swimsuit size 26 and it is too small.  If 
anyone purchased a size 28 and wants to swap, please contact Erin 
Chernow at erinchernow@gmail.com or at 404-325-6760.  Thanks!
