SWAC Pre-lim Finals Meet Southside High School, Ft Wayne November 20th - 22nd 
The deadline for declining for this meet is the Wednesday October 21st.  This is an ideal mid season meet for any of our swimmers who have aspirations of swimming in the season ending championship meets.  It provides a great opportunity to experience a pre-lim/final meet format.  For the families choosing to stay in Ft. Wayne for the weekend it will also provide some very practical experience in how to prepare to swim well when staying away from home.  

This meet is open to the entire team but is not appropriate for our brand new swimmers.  For those swimmers I recommend declining attendance.  

For this meet and the remainder of the meets through the end of the high school season Group 3 swimmers will not be automatically entered in meets.  If a high school swimmer wants to compete in a meet they must commit to attend

Todd Mowers (Cody and Emme's dad) has arranged a block of hotel rooms in Ft. Wayne for us.  Here are the details:

Phone - 866-704-6163 - must call to make reservations (not on-line), use reference code SAQ.

Must book by Nov. 5.


Dual Meet Vs.CON 

I should be receiving the results sometime today.  I will update all of our pertinent information as soon as I receive the results file.


3rd Annual Swim-A-Thon This Saturday Oct 24th

As of this morning we have 35 swimmers who have received donations.  We are just over 75% of the way to our goal with only a few days left to our Swim-A-Thon. If your swimmer has been collecting pledges for laps those are due no later the Friday the 30th.  If you have received donations or off-line donations of cash or checks please bring those in this week so they can be approved and credited to your swimmer.


We are also in the need for parents to help count laps for our swimmers.  We will provide coffee and donuts for the parents who are able to help.  Our Group 1 swimmers will do their laps in the diving well and our Group 2 and Group 3 swimmers will do their laps in the main pool.  


If swimmers have not collected any donations or pledges they will be still expected to participate in this team event.  Our Group 1 swimmers will also have games and relays throughout the 2 hours we are in the pool and it is a great team bonding activity for these swimmers.  Our Group 2 and Group 3 swimmers will receive an extra day of valuable training we do not typically receive on Saturdays


NASA Sprint Meet, Northridge High School, November 7th & 8th

The individual entries are done and you can view your swimmer's events by logging onto your account or by using your OnDeck Parent app on your smart phone.  The relays will be added as soon as I receive the results file from CON.  I will also update our individual entries with any new best times.

Our website allows for local merchants to advertise and offer coupons/specials directly on our  site.  Here is a link to the information page. We will credit your account 50% of any money the club receives from companies that you have sold advertising space to on our website.

Thank you to those families who have been able to find places to hang our team recruiting posters.  I have credited the accounts of those who have sent me photos.  If you have placed a poster in the community and have not received credit on your account please let me know and I will take care of that immediately.  

Every poster displayed in a business, school, or church will earn a $5 credit for your club account.  You could earn up to $50 of credit this way.  For every poster displayed over 10, families will have their name entered for a $50 Visa gift card drawing.  We will hold that drawing on December 1st

As always, if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me
