Dear Royal High Aquatics Families, Athletes, Friends, and Alumni,

It has been a long time coming, and it is time to honor the man who has left an indelible mark on each of our lives and on the Royal Aquatics program as a whole. Coach Snyder's unwavering dedication, passion, and commitment have been the driving force behind the success and legacy of Royal Aquatics. No other program in Ventura County has dominated like Royal Aquatics.

As we reflect on Coach Snyder's profound impact on our community, it is only fitting that we come together with Coach Snyder to honor his achievements in a meaningful and lasting way. With that in mind, we are excited to announce our plans for a dedication ceremony at Rancho Pool during the fall of 2024.

We invite you to join us in contributing to our Go Fund Me page. Our goal is to commemorate Coach Snyder's legacy by purchasing two concrete park benches adorned with plaques and engravings that highlight his remarkable contributions to Royal Aquatics. Additionally, we aim to install a flag pole with lights to further serve the aquatics community. The funds raised will be used to cover the costs associated with installing the benches with plaques, cement pad area and flagpole, as well as providing food and refreshments for the day of the dedication.

Furthermore, any surplus funds will be directed towards the ongoing needs of the program, whether it be acquiring essential equipment (updated scoreboard, shot clocks, goals, touch pads, caps, etc.) or fulfilling other requirements to ensure the continued success of Royal Aquatics.

We envision that the dedication ceremony will coincide with the boys/girls alumni game in October or early November, and we will provide further details regarding the exact dates as soon as we lock down a weekend that works with Coach Snyder's availability. We wholeheartedly encourage all members of the Royal High Aquatics community to join us in contributing to this special event as we come together to honor and celebrate Coach Snyder's indelible legacy.

Your participation and support are invaluable as we work towards honoring a man who has given so much to each of us. Together, let us ensure that Coach Snyder's impact and spirit continue to resonate within our program for years to come.

We are also designing T-shirts for this occasion. Anyone who donates $100 or more will be classified as a Silver Donor and will get a T-shirt. We will also have these TShirts available for purchase at the event. Please click on this link to give us your shirt size if you choose to be a Silver Donor.

Thank you,

Devin Hurst
