On Tuesday February 9th the
Olympic Torch Relay will make its way through Richmond. The
relay will begin its journey through Richmond at Steveston & No
5 Road at 4:30pm. There will not be
any afternoon practices this day as we encourage everyone to get
into the Olympic Spirit and check out the relay as it makes it way
through the city and your neigborhood.
Richmond Rapid Alumni and para
-olympic swimmer will be carrying the torch from the Oval to
Hollybridge Way at approximately 7:06 pm. If you can make it to the
Oval then we encourage everyone to wear their Rapids gear and cheer
on Walter for his 300 meter leg of the relay. Walter grew up
in Richmond and swam in mutliple Para Olympics and World
Championships and broke numerous records along the way. In
1996 in the Atlanta Summer Olympics Walter won 5 gold
medals!
Also, please be aware of any
changes to your children's swiming schedule for this month.
The schedule can be found in the news section of the website under
the heading "Olympic Update".
Sincerely,
Rapids Coaching Staff
