Club Advertising for Account Credit
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.
Meet Declaration
If you are planning on your swimmer attending any meets left on on our schedule please take a few minutes of your time and commit them to the meet. It really does save quite a bit a time prior to sending our entry to the meet host. Thank you to those families who are opting out of the meet and leaving a short note as to why they will not be able to attend.
Group 2 Day at RHS This Thursday December 3rd
As of this morning we have 11 swimmers who have signed up to help time at Riley Vs. Clay girls/boys dual meet. The meet starts at 5:00 and we would like all of our swimmers to who are able to help be on deck by 4:45. We would also like everyone to wear this season's team shirt to the meet. These meets typically last about 2-2.5 hours. The club will provide pizza for dinner during the diving break for all the group 2 swimmers in attendance. If you have not done so already, and you know your swimmer is planning on attending, please commit them so we will know how many pizza's to order.
Dual Meet Vs Irish Aquatics January 16thRolfs Aquatic Center
Irish Aquatics has invited us to compete in a dual meet against their club. This will be unique for all of our swimmers as the pool will be set-up a little differently then we are accustomed to seeing it. Prior to our dual meet, Notre Dame will be competing in a their own dual meet vs. Northwestern starting, I believe, at noon. The pool set-up for the varsity meets has the 25 yard competition set up in the middle of their 50 meter pool. Our warm-ups will start as soon as possible after the conclusion of the college meet. Hopefully we can get our entire team watching the college meet so our young swimmers can see where their swimming careers can take them. The plan is to have the meet last a maximum of 2 hours. After the meet we our planning something social for both teams and their families to do together. I will share more details as they become available.
The meet declaration function for this meet has been turned on. The deadline for opting out of this meet will be Sunday January 13th
LaPorte Swim Club's Maple City ClassicDec 12th & 13th
Our entry has been sent. You can log onto your account on our website or you can use the OnDeck Parent app. Some swimmers who did not commit and I entered in the meet were only entered for on day of the meet. I chose the day with the events I felt were the most appropriate for each of those swimmer's current level
IA Meet January 8th-10th
Our new deadline is one week from today,Sunday December 6th. I would like our high school athletes to attend this meet. I would like them to do so for a couple of reasons. The first I would like them to have the opportunity to swim their best non high school events. Secondly, I want them to experience the meet format that will be similar to the championship meets after the high school season High school swimmers will need a waiver to be completed on line by their athletic director. High school swimmers that are not committed by the deadline will not be entered in the meet
MSC/GSI January Meets
I am sure most of you have noticed there are two meets on the same weekend. The MSC meet was placed on our schedule for our 11 and over swimmers with a minimum of at least one Divisional time standard. The GSI meet is for all of our 10 and under swimmers and those 11 and over swimmers that have not yet met a Divisional time standard. The deadline for opting out of these meets isSunday December 20th. On the 21st if you have not opted out or declared for either meet I place your swimmer in the meet that is most appropriate.
