Entering and Exiting The Building
In an effort to help with security of the building we will be using door #22 to enter and exit the building for the remainder of this season. Door #22 is on the northwest corner of the building and faces Fellows Street. If parents would like to stay and watch practice they will need to use the stairwell adjacent to door #22 to access the seating gallery. If you arrive at the building and the door is locked please call my cell phone (574-276-6057) or Coach Ted (574-360-9187), or Coach Brion (574-315-5865). We will be directing all swimmers to leave practice through this door so please plan to pick them up at that entrance.
Ava's Schedule
Ava will be meeting with Group 2 on Tuesday evening and with Group 3 on Wednesday morning this week.
MSC Summer Splash & NASA Invite
I will post the meet results and update all of our website as soon as I receive the results files.
IHSAA Moratorium Week 7/3-7/9
The week of July 3rd through July 9th has been designated as the moratorium week for high school athletes. During this week the IHSAA forbids any contact with high school coaches and their athletes. Because of this rule NP is not allowed to conduct any practices in their facilities during that week. Since we our a program of the Parks and Rec and not a high school team we are still allowed to use Riley. I will not be on deck during any practice time that Group 3 is in the water but I will be in the office area. The other coaches will be covering practices. Group 1 will practice on Monday and Thursday of this week. We not have Tuesday evening practice but we will have practice on Wednesday evening for G1 Elite, Group 2, and Group 3. There will not be any practices on Friday due to the IA meet.
Last Practices For The Summer
These our tentative dates for the last practices for each group.
Group 1 Thursday July 27th
G1 Elite Monday July 24th
Group 2 Thursday July 27th
Group 3 (NPHS) Thursday July 27th

We will have practices the first week of August for any Group 1 or Group 2 swimmers that are competing at Summer Divisionals.
Fall/Winter Season
Our on-line registration for the fall/winter season will be up and running no later the August 15th. All families who wish to continue with the club will need to register at this time. Our first practice will be Tuesday September 5th. We will also be amending some of our polices/procedures for the upcoming season. I will begin introducing those in next week's email.
Advertising Credit
Selling a one year ad on our website could earn you anywhere from $50 to almost $500. Here is the link for more information.
Another easy way to earn credit for your swim club account is to hang our recruiting posters out in the public. For every poster you hang you will receive a $5 credit up to $25. Once you hang the poster post a pic of it on your Facebook page (or other social site) and tag the club.
