                         The Legend of the Rat                                              

 

 In the early days (about 1998 ) o there was not a lot of lane space days for a tri squad available, so we all did an early morning 6am river swim in  summer once a week at Pt Walter      

The wildlife  didn’t like sharing their river bank very much (big grotty hairy coated river rats ) & the nickname began of doing the “river rat swim” … which eventually turned into the “rat logo” after we finally obtained  lane space available at the pools  on a permanent basis                        

 

 The current Club Captain (King Rat)  is Pablo Rodriguez
