The Westport Weston Family Y�s Water Rat swim team is looking for family and teammate addresses in advance of its November celebration of 55 years of competitive swimming.
The event will be held Friday, Nov. 25 at the Fairfield County Hunt Club in Westport.
With a rallying cry of �55 in 2005,� past and present team members, along with coaches, parents, and longtime Water Rat supporters, will be invited to share memories and look ahead to the team�s future successes, an announcement said.
Proceeds from the evening will benefit the YMCA�s Ann Atkinson Fund which helps defray travel and apparel expenses for swimmers so that no child is denied the opportunity to be on the team.
Attendees will also be able to view plans for the new Y facility, including a 50-meter pool.
The weekend�s events will continue the following day, when Water Rat alumni and the current senior team will battle it out in the Y pool at what organizers said promises to be a very competitive and exciting reunion swim meet.
The coaching staff is hoping to draw former Water Rats from beyond the local community. They encourage anyone to e-mail them at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address), or contact Ellen Johnston, event coordinator, at (203) 226-8981 x110 with the names and addresses of friends and family who might be interested in attending the events.
