New Prairie Satellite
Late last month we were informed the NPHS pool was going to be closed for some much needed upgrades and repairs.  While this is great news for the future of swimming in the New Prairie area it does create some immediate hurdles for our club.  An exact time table for these repairs was not given, but it is likely the pool will be closed until school starts again in the fall.  The South Bend Swim Club is committed to making our club work for this school and community.  Without a pool we are not left with any options for practice at the school.  For the spring and summer we will only be offering practices at Riley High School.  Because of this added hardship and we will be offering a special deal for all of our New Prairie families.  If a NP swimmer stays with the club for entire spring/summer season the July training fee will be credited back to their swim club accounts.  For those families who swim the spring/summer and sign back up in the fall we will also credit back one month of training fees when the winter season is completed.

I am asking all of our current New Prairie families to let me know, through email, their intentions for the spring and summer.  Because of the pool closure and the added travel to RHS I will assume your swimmer will not be swimming unless I hear differently from you.  This only applies for our NP families.

Swimmers Not Continuing into the Spring
If your swimmer is taking the spring/summer season off, and you have not done so already, please send me an email stating your intentions by the end of this week.  If I do not receive an email from you I will assume you plan on your swimmer continuing into next season.  Those accounts will be charged the spirit wear fee, the meet surcharge, and the April technology fee.  The accounts that choose the seasonal membership when registering in the fall will also be charged the seasonal training fee and those that choose the monthly will be charged the April training fee.

Spring/Summer Season
Thank you to all the families who have liked and shared our post about our registration on Twitter or Facebook.  Last week I presented a challenge to our membership to see if we could have more shares of our registration post then the other two South Bend based clubs combined.  Last Sunday we had 26 shares to their 79.  As of this morning we have 86 shares and the other two clubs are still at 79!  Keep up the good work.  Let's see if we can break a 100 sometime this week.

Here is the link to the registration page for the athletes that were not registered this season.  If you have questions about costs for the upcoming season you can click here to see our team pricing for the spring and summer. 

 Please remember if you are already registered for the fall/winter season you do not need to re-register.
 

Our first day of spring practice will be Monday April 11th for Group 2 and Group 3 and Tuesday the 12th for Group 1.

Summer Meet Schedule
Our meet schedule will be finalized sometime prior to April 1st.  This season we are going to have 3 different meet categories.  Those will be 1) Meets for swimmers without a Divisional time standard and all our 10 and under swimmers.  These will be one or two day meets in short course yards.  2) Meets for swimmers 11 and over with at least one Divisional time standard.  These will be 3 day invites in long course pools typically not in the South Bend area. 3) Whole team meet.  These will also be 3 day invites in long course pools in the South Bend area.
