New Families
If your swimmer is brand new to us this season there a couple of things the club needs from you. The first is a copy of their birth certificate. If it is possible, please scan it into your computer as a pdf then email it to me. The second thing we will need, prior to May 1st, is for a credit card or checking account to be attached to your swim club account. If you did not, or you are having trouble accessing your account please let me know.
Car Decals
If anyone is interested is in a window decal for the car stop by the pool office after any practice to pick one up
Registration
For those of you that chose the pay by check option and have not turned in a check to me you will need to have one at your swimmer's first practice this week
Upcoming Meet, Dates and (Their Deadlines)
I apologize for such late notice for the first three meets on our schedule. Getting into meets in the summer can be very competitive. I want to make sure our entry is among the first received to increase our chances of our entry being accepted. So, that is why our deadline for committing for all of our meets is right before the hosts teams begin accepting entries.
The NASA meet is one that could be attended by the entire team. This is an especially good meet for our new or less experienced swimmers. It is in short course yards. The LCB meet is more for our experienced swimmers. This meet is in long course meters. Swimmers with Divisional cuts and above should consider attending this meet. The third meet is being held on the campus of Notre Dame. I would recommend our newer swimmers either attend Saturday or Sunday of this meet since it is local. Our more experienced swimmers should plan on attending all 3 days of this meet

Fitter and Faster Tour Sunday May 3rd
Please spread the word about this great clinic and the incredible clinicians we have coming. We are very excited about having Megan Romano, 3 time Olympic trial finalist in 2012 and anchor of two gold medal winning relays at 2013 World Championships along with Connor Jaeger, Olympian, National Champion, and American record holder coming to our pool to be our clinicians. Here is the link to the registration page if you have not already signed up. We are also looking 6 for parent volunteers. You would need to Riley by 6:30 to help set-up. You will receive a Fitter and Faster T-shirt for volunteering. If you are able to do this please let me know as soon as you can
Social Media Sites
I am sure most of you are aware we have several social media sites (some a little more active then others). We are doing our absolute best to make sure we use every possible avenue of communication. If you have not done so already please follow, like, or subscribe to all of our sites you may be active on. Over the next few months we are going to be reaching out to advertisers to help with some of our overhead. The larger the presence we have on these sites could help sway some advertisers to spend their money with us. We do have direct links from the SBSC website for Facebook, Twitter and Insta-gram. We also have sites on Google+, Tumblr, Blogger, and YouTube.
Parent meeting Tuesday May 5thWe will have a parent meeting on Tuesday May 5th from 6-7 in the RHS cafeteria. The first 30 minutes will be for all families and the last 30 minutes will be for any new families to our club. We would like to have one adult member of each family in attendance.
Team Store
For those of you that were unaware we have a team store connected to our website. For every purchase you make on the site a small percentage comes back to our club. Here is a link to the store. We also have the store linked through our Facebook page. If you are in the market for any new suits or swimming apparel please make this your first option. If there is something you do not see in our store you would like, let me know and I will try to get it added
Lifeguards
Last fall the South Bend School Corporation decided it was time all swim teams using their facilities follow the St. Joseph County ordinance of having lifeguards on deck whenever we have swimmers in the water. This responsibility falls directly on the club, both in staffing and paying the guards. With our limited budget we have to be creative. During Group 3 practices we will be able rotate our swimmers out of practice so no one should miss more then a short time of any practice and once only every few days to once a week. Group 2 practices are little more problematic. Lifeguards need to be 15 and our oldest swimmer in Group 2 is only 14. Last season we asked our Group 3 swimmers to volunteer guard for one practice each month. We are asking they do this again. Please encourage your high school swimmer to volunteer at least one night a month. If we are able to have an all volunteer lifeguard staff we will be able to continue keeping our prices as reasonable as we do
Twyckenham Pool
For the last two summers Twyckenham pool has offered a provisional membership for families who are looking for another opportunity for the children to be part of a swim team. The pool membership itself is $50. Swim team membership is an additional $60 for the first child and $50 for every subsequent child. The provisional membership allows you to have your swimmers join the Twyckenham team and gives you the opportunity to enjoy the pool on selected days. If you would like more information please contact Stephanie Frame at sframe@sbcsc.k12.in.us
As always, if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.
