NASA and IA Meets
The deadline for opting out of these meets is tonight. The IA meet is a team meet and all swimmers are assumed swimming. If you do not choose "decline to attend" yourswimmer(s) will be entered in the IA meet.
The NASA meet is for our 10 and under swimmers and those 11 and over swimmers without any Divisional time standards. Swimmers that fall into this category will be entered in the NASA meet unless you choose the "decline to attend" option.
All of our new swimmers will be entered in limited number of events for both meets. For the IA meet their events will probably limited to one day.
If any new family has questions about how to decline meet attendance or how to choose days to attend please do not hesitate to contact me.
Lakeshore Aquatics Invite and CON Invite
The deadline for both of these meets is one week from tonight. The CON Invite is a team meet and all swimmers are assumed swimming. If you do not opt of this meet by the deadline your swimmer will be entered in the meet.
The Lakeshore Aquatics Invite is for those swimmers that fall into the 11&O+Div Q+ category. If your swimmer is in this category they will be automatically entered in this meet unless you choose to opt out. This meet is a little unique for us. It is the first in-season meet they we have competed that is outside of Indiana. Clubs in Indiana follow certain guidelines for meet entries that we are accustomed to, including a block of dates when entries will be accepted. This meet has on open ended entry procedure. They are accepting entries at any time and will close as soon as the meet is full. They have not published their entry file yet and as soon as they do I will complete our entry and send it out. The meet letter for this meet can be found by clicking here.
New Parent Meeting 6:00 Tuesday April 26th
This Tuesday April 26th we will have a parent meeting for all new families. It will be in the computer room on the 2nd floor directly behind the pool seating gallery . I believe the room number is 220 or 221. The meeting will not be very long and we will be done before practice is over.
