Past and Present Swimmer's I'm getting ready to attend a reunion for my high school and college swim and water polo team and got to thinking about us, and come to find out March 5, 2010 will be the 25 year anneversary of the rescue swimmer going operational, I know it's a way's off but I have decided to get a head start in designing a t-shirt to mark this historic event, I'm looking for any type of input so far I have come up with these items to put on the shirt.
1. March 5,1985 Rescue Swimmer goes operational
2. May 4, 1985 First Rescue Swimmer Rescue
3. April 9 1996 Advanced Rescue Swimmer School Opened.
Fallen Fin's
4. ASMCS Peter Leeman July 12, 1994 CGRS# 147
5. ASM3 Jmaes Caines June 8, 1997 CGRS# 425
6. ASM1 David Skimin Sept 5, 2008 CGRS# 409
7. Rescue Swimmer Logo & Wings
Anybody who wants to throw ideas in please do, and I'm going to have a hollywood graphic design team thanks to my wife, start coming up with some ideas between Sept 2009 and January 2010, and will put up 3 diffrent designs in Febuary 2010 for voting the first two weeks and than have the shirts made the end of Febuary for March release. again any input please email to me thanks, Russ Tuck Email me at Bionictuck@gmail.com sorry about the spelling never was good at it.

How about sewing the arm holes shut. That got REAL common when the swimmer program came online and new ASM's forgot how to sew.
