Coach Carol (574-292-0553) will be covering on Wednesday.  The weekly training plan is attached.  Group 2 athletes who have been attending mornings may attend as many morning as they would like this week.  We will not charge training fees for swimmers who attend practices in August.

Mega Zones and Junior Nationals
We have 3 swimmers who are competing in August.  Evie and Sammy Sierra are representing Team Indiana at the Mega Zone meet held at IUPUI from Thursday through today. They are competing not only against the best Indiana swimmers but the best from 14 other LSC's/states as well.  Both have scored at the meet and Evie continues her fast swimming posting several new best times and a new team record in the 200 fly (2:24.70)  Abby Kirkpatrick competes in Junior Nationals this week in Minneapolis.  She swims the 100 breast on Monday, the 200 breast on Thursday, and the 200 IM on Friday.

Fall and Winter Season
Our on-line registration platform is now active. You can click here to go directly to our registration page.  All swimmers will need to register to be on our active roster for the fall.  Also, please remember you will be registering for the fall/winter and the spring/summer seasons.  You of course have the option to discontinue at any time. Our first official practice for the fall will be Tuesday September 6th.  

New for this season is we will be asking all Group 3 members to volunteer 4 hours during the upcoming season. This can either be assisting our coaching staff with our Group 1 practices or life-guarding any of the Group 1 or Group 2 practices.

We will also be changing the meet surcharge a little as well.  Last fall and winter season we charged $26 at registration.  This year we will charge $15 at registration and add $1 to the meet entry fees for each meet a swimmer attends.

New Prairie Satellite
Due to construction delays our plan is to start practice at NPHS beginning Monday October 3rd.  Families who plan on being part of the NP satellite are welcome to attend practices at Riley in the September or they can wait until October to begin.  Registrations that have selected any of the NP training groups will be contacted to determine when they would like to start practices.

Summer Divisionals
We had a small number of athletes in attendance but we swam well and spent as much time as anyone on the podium.  Congratulations to Forrest Baumgartner for setting a new team record in the 15-18 boys 200 free (1:46.93) breaking Coach Brion's record set in 2014.

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