SBSC Website
Part
of our marketing plan was to establish a new brand and update the image
for our club. This included new brochures and a new look for our
logo. We hired Franko Design
out of Elkhart to do this work for us. The design concept included a
couple of variations on a general theme. Mr. Franko wanted to tie our
look with the history of South Bend. If you look closer at the logo on
the front of this season's T-shirt you will notice the swimmer's head
resembles the "S" Studebaker logo. (Yes, we did receive permission from
the Studebaker Museum to use this). We will using the circular "S"
design on our new caps Coincidentally, with our color scheme it also
looks quite a bit like our new city flag. With all the new artwork we
were able to give the South Bend Swim Club website a
very sleek new look. If you have not seen it yet please take a look.
All the same valuable information is still on the site just some will
located in slightly different locations.
Parent Meeting
Thank
you for the parents who took time out of their schedule to hear Ava
discuss the athlete-parent-coach triangle and the important role you

the meeting and if there are any topics or subject matter you would like
discussed.

Parent Workshop Tuesday November 1st 6:00
I have attached the flyer that Ava handed out at our Swim-A-Thon to the parents that were in attendance. This is an opportunity for parents to learn more of their important role in making their child's swimming career as rewarding as possible. The meeting will be held in one of the classrooms across the hall from the pool locker rooms. The meeting will last about 60 minutes with plenty of time to answer any questions you might have.
Meet Deadlines
I had a question from a parent in an email this week that I thought I should share because I felt several of you could be wondering the same. The question was, "Why do we need to commit or opt of meets so far in advance of the meet dates?" I think this is a very reasonable question. I will do my best to try to explain. Swim clubs across the country host swim meets for a variety of reasons. One of the most important reasons, while never advertised as such, is to raise money for the club. The host club typically sets a window of dates when they will accept entries ranging anywhere from one day to several weeks. Teams with the shorter time frames have a history of filling their meets and are not too concerned. Teams who have a larger window are trying to ensure they fill their meets. Our club would typically wait until the end of those longer windows to allow more time for our families to make a decision about attending. We changed our policy about two years ago when we waited and were shut out of a meet because it was already full. I even tried to talk our way back into the meet by calling/pleading with their head coach, one of my former swimmers. He informed me his meet literally filled within the first hour his entry period was open. So from that point forward we changed our policy to have our entry file to the meet host the minute they start accepting entries. Sometimes this means I am sending our entry out at 12:00 AM just to ensure we are among the first entries received. The deadline I set for our families is typically about a week ahead of the host club's. This allows me time to chase down those who did not commit either way, check with our coaches about event readiness, and time to put together our entry. I know it does present some challenges for family scheduling but the alternative could be we loose a meet weekend.
IA Meet January 6th-8th
I have attached the meet letter for this upcoming meet. This is a pre-lim/final meetfor swimmers 11 and over and a timed final meet for swimmers 10 and under. If you are available for this meet I strongly encourage you to attend. The deadline for opting out of this meet is tonight, October 30th.
I mentioned in last week's email that all Group 3 swimmers would need to commit to future meets and they would no longer be automatically entered. This is still the case for those swimmers not attending Riley High School. All the Group 3 RHS swimmers have been entered into the meet (unless they have already opted out). I plan to use this meet as part of our training process for RHS. If you do not want your swimmer in the meet please email me and I will remove them. Again, all Group 3 swimmers who attend Riley High School have been entered into the meet unless I hear differently from the parents.
NASA Sprint Meet Plus
The times from the morning session will be 30 minutes later then originally posted in the meet letter. Here are the new pertinent times for this weekend's meet:
Saturday and Sunday AM sessions-all 10 and under swimmers
Warm-ups 7:30-8:20 (our swimmers need to be on deck by 7:15)
Meet Starts 8:35
Saturday and Sunday PM sessions-all 11 and over swimmers
Warm-ups for 13 and over 12:00-12:30 (our swimmers need to be on deck by 11:45)
Warm-ups for 11 and 12 12:30-1:00 (our swimmers need to be on deck by 12:15)
Meet starts 1:15
Here is a map to the pool. I have also attached our entry. Parents, it would help a great deal if you could write your swimmer's events and numbers on their hands or wrists prior to arriving at the pool. You can also log on to our site to get your swimmers events or you can use the OnDeck parent app. The password for the app is the same as you use for the website and our team alias is insbsc. Make sure to go to the menu page and press the sync icon. All the data on the app comes directly from the website and needs to be refreshed on a regular basis.
T-shirt's
I have attached a word document of our second T-shirt that I will be placing first thing tomorrow morning. If you would like to be added to the order please email me with the sizes you would like with the word T-shirt in the subject line. Also on the list are all the swimmers who joined the team after our first order on October 3rd. If your swimmer joined the team prior to the 3rd and did not receive a shirt please let me know so I can be sure to add them to this order.
I still have some T-shirts for swimmer's and families from the first order that have not been picked up yet

I have attached the flyer that Ava handed out at our Swim-A-Thon to the parents that were in attendance. This is an opportunity for parents to learn more of their important role in making their child's swimming career as rewarding as possible. The meeting will be held in one of the classrooms across the hall from the pool locker rooms. The meeting will last about 60 minutes with plenty of time to answer any questions you might have.
Meet Deadlines
I had a question from a parent in an email this week that I thought I should share because I felt several of you could be wondering the same. The question was, "Why do we need to commit or opt of meets so far in advance of the meet dates?" I think this is a very reasonable question. I will do my best to try to explain. Swim clubs across the country host swim meets for a variety of reasons. One of the most important reasons, while never advertised as such, is to raise money for the club. The host club typically sets a window of dates when they will accept entries ranging anywhere from one day to several weeks. Teams with the shorter time frames have a history of filling their meets and are not too concerned. Teams who have a larger window are trying to ensure they fill their meets. Our club would typically wait until the end of those longer windows to allow more time for our families to make a decision about attending. We changed our policy about two years ago when we waited and were shut out of a meet because it was already full. I even tried to talk our way back into the meet by calling/pleading with their head coach, one of my former swimmers. He informed me his meet literally filled within the first hour his entry period was open. So from that point forward we changed our policy to have our entry file to the meet host the minute they start accepting entries. Sometimes this means I am sending our entry out at 12:00 AM just to ensure we are among the first entries received. The deadline I set for our families is typically about a week ahead of the host club's. This allows me time to chase down those who did not commit either way, check with our coaches about event readiness, and time to put together our entry. I know it does present some challenges for family scheduling but the alternative could be we loose a meet weekend.
IA Meet January 6th-8th
I have attached the meet letter for this upcoming meet. This is a pre-lim/final meetfor swimmers 11 and over and a timed final meet for swimmers 10 and under. If you are available for this meet I strongly encourage you to attend. The deadline for opting out of this meet is tonight, October 30th.
I mentioned in last week's email that all Group 3 swimmers would need to commit to future meets and they would no longer be automatically entered. This is still the case for those swimmers not attending Riley High School. All the Group 3 RHS swimmers have been entered into the meet (unless they have already opted out). I plan to use this meet as part of our training process for RHS. If you do not want your swimmer in the meet please email me and I will remove them. Again, all Group 3 swimmers who attend Riley High School have been entered into the meet unless I hear differently from the parents.
NASA Sprint Meet Plus
The times from the morning session will be 30 minutes later then originally posted in the meet letter. Here are the new pertinent times for this weekend's meet:
Saturday and Sunday AM sessions-all 10 and under swimmers
Warm-ups 7:30-8:20 (our swimmers need to be on deck by 7:15)
Meet Starts 8:35
Saturday and Sunday PM sessions-all 11 and over swimmers
Warm-ups for 13 and over 12:00-12:30 (our swimmers need to be on deck by 11:45)
Warm-ups for 11 and 12 12:30-1:00 (our swimmers need to be on deck by 12:15)
Meet starts 1:15
Here is a map to the pool. I have also attached our entry. Parents, it would help a great deal if you could write your swimmer's events and numbers on their hands or wrists prior to arriving at the pool. You can also log on to our site to get your swimmers events or you can use the OnDeck parent app. The password for the app is the same as you use for the website and our team alias is insbsc. Make sure to go to the menu page and press the sync icon. All the data on the app comes directly from the website and needs to be refreshed on a regular basis.
T-shirt's
I have attached a word document of our second T-shirt that I will be placing first thing tomorrow morning. If you would like to be added to the order please email me with the sizes you would like with the word T-shirt in the subject line. Also on the list are all the swimmers who joined the team after our first order on October 3rd. If your swimmer joined the team prior to the 3rd and did not receive a shirt please let me know so I can be sure to add them to this order.
I still have some T-shirts for swimmer's and families from the first order that have not been picked up yet

SWAC Meet November 19th-21st
The deadline to commit to this meet is this Thursday. Remember since this meet was just added to our schedule we will be doing entries a little differently. Swimmers will not be automatically entered in the meet. If you want your swimmer to attend you must commit them. We will need a minimum of 8 swimmers to sign up before we send an entry.
NCISC Meet
Congratulations to our two new team record holders. Sammy Sierra set a new record in the 11-12 boys 100 IM with a time of 1:07.54. Bryce Knight set a new record in the 13-14 boys 50 Butterfly with a time of 26.26. You can check all the team records by clicking here. Our All-Time Top 10 can be viewed here and all of our current championship qualifiers here. You can click here to see our results and improvements.
Meet Entries
Our policy for meet entries is to assume all swimmers who do not decline attendance will be competing. Meaning if a swimmer is undeclared they will still be entered in the meet. If you know your swimmer is planning on competing please click the "Edit Commitment" button and choose "Yes". The process I use for doing meet entries is to do all the entries of the committed swimmers then create relay teams from those swimmers. The reason I choose to do the relays before moving over the non-committed swimmers is the probability of the committed swimmers being at the meet is relatively high. Trying to change relays at the meet because someone fails to show up presents a challenge in what at times is a slightly chaotic environment.
T-shirt Order
I will picking up our team shirts sometime this week and will have them ready to hand out at our Swim-A-Thon on Saturday.
We have had a couple of parents ask about more shirts and we have had some new swimmers join since the last order so we will be placing a 2nd order on October 31st. If you are interested please send me an email with the word T-shirt in the subject box with the sizes and numbers you want
October Tech Fee
Our billing system is limited in it's ability to automatically charge accounts. While it has the ability to charge each family the the monthly training fees it does not allow us to set-up other recurring fees per family account. For us to be able to receive payment on the first of the month for any other charges outside the training fees those charges have to manually placed on your account by the last day of the month. I missed that deadline with the October Family Tech Fee. So you will see two charges on your account this month one for October and one for November.
Dual Meet Vs. CON Swim Club
Congratulations to everyone who swam yesterday. We had some outstanding swims, new best times, and some great displays of teammates supporting and cheering for each other. I anticipate I will receive the final results sometime today or tomorrow and will update our site as soon as I do.
I also wanted to publicly commend our Group 3 swimmers. One of the CON parents who organized the breakfast for our high school kids passed along some very high praise of our swimmers. She said that doing the breakfast for our club was always enjoyable because of how polite, respectful, and appreciative our swimmers always are. Good manners never go out of style. Thank you for representing our club with such class.
Swim-A-Thon Saturday October 22nd
We are now more then half way to our goal heading into the last week. Typically the last week is our best week for raising funds. Even if you have not started it is not too late to start. As simply as putting a link to the Swim-A-Thon on your Facebook page may generate some additional giving. We will also be in need of parents to help count laps. We will have coffee and donuts available for parents willing to give up a couple more hours of their Saturday.
If you have received any donations of checks or cash please bring them Saturday so they are credited to your swimmers account.
We would like all of our swimmers to be on deck by 7:45. We will get in the water approximately 8:00 and and be done 2 hours later.

The dates to opt out are tentative for some of these meets and will most likely change when the meet information becomes available. As a reminder all swimmers are considered swimming in a meet unless the parent declines attending. I'm also asking if you know your swimmer will be attending please commit them to the meet. If the option to choose days is not yet available please leave a note as to which days you would like to attend
