NCISC Championship Meet 
We have only had a few families sign-up to donate or volunteer to work at the meet.  To pull off this meet we need everyone's help.  If you have not done so already please log-in to our website and sign-up for the job you would like to do

Our meet declaration system has been turned on. The deadline for opting out of this meet is Sunday January 31st, one week from today.  This is a meet our club is hosting and we will need the help of everyone to a run a successful meet.  The jobs (volunteer) section for this meet has also been activated. 

The following items are needed for the hospitality room and our concession stand.  If you are able to donate these items please go to the job section for this meet and list what you are able to bring.  The donations will need to be brought to the pool by Thursday the 11th.  If you can't bring those items by that time please do not volunteer to bring them.  On Friday our hospitality and concession stand coordinator will be picking up any items not donated.  Last fall we had several people bring their donations the day of the meet and we had several items left over.

Pop- 2 cases of coke and 4 cases of diet coke

IA Dual Meet
Sammy Sierra set a new team record in the 11-12 boys 100 free (59.51).  This was Sammy's first time breaking 1 minute in this event. For those of you that were either competitive swimmers or have older children in our program you can appreciate what a big career milestone that is.  Congrats Sammy!

GSI and MSC Meet Results
I hope to receive the results file sometime today.  As soon as I do,  I will update all of our pages on our website.

CON Last Chance Showdown 2/26-28

The entry file is now uploaded to our site.  If you have already committed your swimmer please go back in and select the sessions you would like your swimmer to be competing.   If there are no sessions selected or there isn't anything in the notes section I will assume you want your swimmer in all sessions

Divisonals/Senior State/Age Group State
All information for these meets is included in the meet letters attached to their respective meet info pages on our website.  These meets will require parents to commit their swimmer.  Swimmers will not be automatically entered.  

Our deadline for the Divisional meet is the weekend before our last regular season meet.  If a swimmer achieves a new cut at the CON meet they will still be allowed to enter the meet.  If you believe your swimmer may fall into this category please commit them so I am aware of your intention of sending them to the meet.  You can click here to view the time standards by clicking here.  You can view all of our swimmers who have qualified by clicking here

End of Fall/Winter Season Start of Spring/Summer Season
At the beginning of this season we implemented several administrative changes for our program.  In past years only swimmers who had qualified for the championship meets were allowed to continue swimming in March.  This yearall swimmers are being allowed to continue even if they have not met any time standards.  Also new for our club is we have eliminated the spring registration for swimmers who participated in the fall/winter season.  If your swimmer is currently registered they will also be registered for the spring and summer.

If you decided you no longer want to participate, at any time please, send an email prior to the first of the month to avoid being charged.  For example if you are choosing to stop swimming after the CON meet I will need an email prior to March 1st.  If you are deciding not to swim the spring and summer season I will need an email before April 1st.

Our last practice for Group 1 and Group 2 swimmers for this season will be March 24th.  Our last day for Group 3 swimmers will be March 30 or 31st.  Our first day of spring practice will be Monday April 11th for Group 2 and Group 3 and Tuesday the 12th for Group 1.

New Prairie Group 2
I was informed that all of our NP Group 2 swimmers will be participating with their middle school team in February and March.  At the end of this month all of those swimmers will be placed in non-active billing groups and will not be billed any training fees.  If you paid for seasonal membership your account will be credited for those two months.  These swimmers will still be on our active roster and can still participate in our meets.  They can also use their times done in middle school meets to qualify for Divisionals or Age Group State.  They will be returned to the active billing groups starting in April unless I receive and email stating you do not wish to continue.

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