Letter of recommendation for Mark Rauterkus from Deer Lakes Aquatic Club

 

Deer Lakes Aquatic Club

PO BOX 914 4 RUSSELLTON, PA 15076

March 24, 2008

To Whom It May Concern:

As members of the board of the Deer Lakes Aquatic Club, we are pleased to highly

recommend Mark Rauterkus to your organization. Our competitive swimming club was

formed in 1999, is a member of Allegheny Mountain Swimming, and takes pride in

promoting fitness, self-motivation and sportsmanship in our competitive swimmers.

Mark has been involved in the sport of swimming for over 30 years. Recently, when we

found ourselves without a head coach Mark, upon hearing of our predicament,

enthusiastically offered to step in and help with our competitive swimming program for

the remainder of our season. He jumped in with both feet to assist our club, and over

the last several weeks has imparted upon our swimmers his enthusiasm and dedication

to this sport. He is professional and reliable, and is well — liked by our swimmers and

parents alike. We are confident in his abilities and know that he would be a great asset

and bring tremendous leadership to any endeavor he pursues.

Sincerely,

Club Leadership
