It was great to see so many student-athletes again at the Swim Test on Sunday. We had great turnout at both Swim Tests and will likely hold one more due to the large amount of interest expressed, more information coming soon. 1. REMINDER: Fall Green Days Start This Week.

NEW: Launch Driver Training on Saturday, Sept 29th. Sign-up here! If you're interested in driving a launch during one of our Regattas, this is the training for you. It will qualify you for select VASRA volunteer jobs which are assigned to each participating team and MUST be filled (or our team is fined AND the regatta will fail). Being a Launch Driver gets you the best seat in the house at regattas! All are welcome and anyone can learn. Coach Tylander will teach a Launch Driver class on Saturday, September 29th from 10:30am to 12:30pm (2 hours). Attendance is limited to the first six people to sign up and is open to any WTW Crew Parent/guardian – anyone can learn. So become a Launch Boat Driver, qualify to meet a VASRA volunteer requirement, and follow the racers down the course! 4. REMINDER: Other Key Dates:
