Welcome to RACEPAC
RACEPAC stands for Redmond Aquatic Club Eels Parent Advisory Committee. We are an informal Parent group linking families to RACE Coaches & RAPRD. Our mission is to support the success of our Swimmers, Coaches and Families through active participation and communication. In turn, we are given an active voice in the program and enjoy the benefits of our supportive environment among Coaches and Families.
Every swimmer’s family is automatically part of RACEPAC. We ask that one parent/guardian attends a RACEPAC meeting at least once within the first three months of joining the team, to better understand the program and how to stay in the loop of communications. Important ALL-MEMBERSHIP meetings will also typically occur twice per year.
RACEPAC Meetings take place one evening a month and aim to conclude within an hour. Meetings generally include the following:
- New/Existing Family Introductions
- Coaches Report: Discuss recently completed, upcoming and potential future Swim Meets, Clinics & Travel; Important dates/calendar events; Celebrate Swimmer’s individual and group achievements; tips on how we can support our athletes; Open Q & A (relevant to the group).
- Financial Report: Aquatic Director provides an update on RACE’s financial standing, needs and goals.
- Fundraising: Identify and prioritize most desirable/achievable fundraisers. Plan, implement and track the success of fundraisers based on group feedback & financial data.
- New Family Tutorials: Upon conclusion of the meeting, new families can seek help with navigating apps, dialing in communications, understanding equipment needs, set up timer training, and connect with mentors for future assistance. PLEASE HAVE YOUR LOGIN CREDENTIALS for help with any specific apps/tasks.
