For all of our Group 3 swimmers and Group 2 swimmers that will be entering high school next year; do not arrive on deck before noon on Saturday and Sunday. I will be on deck coaching the 12 and under swimmers and I do not want to violate any IHSAA rules by having contact with those swimmers. Here are the pertinent times for this weekends meet.

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 3 on Wednesday morning this week.
MSC Summer Splash & NASA Invite
The results have been uploaded to our website. You can click here to see the MSC results and here to see the NASA results. Our all time top ten for Short Course Yards (NASA Meet) and Long Course Meters (MSC Meet) have been updated as well as our qualifiers page in both SCY and LCM. Congratulations to Autumn Baumgartner who set a new team record in the 13-14 girls 100 free (1:02.96) and to Sammy "The Snake" Sierra who set a new team record in the 13-14 boys 200 Fly (2:34.53).
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.
For morning workouts swimmers are not to arrive at the building before 6:15 and before 4:45 for evening practices.
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
Group 3 (RHS) Friday August 4th.
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.
As I mentioned last week we will be instituting some changes for the upcoming fall/winter season. Here are two of our new policies.
1. We will be returning to the old meet declaration process. Swimmers will no longer be automatically entered in meets. If a parent wants a swimmer to compete in a meet they will need to commit them. When I changed the policy a few seasons ago the hope was that it would encourage meet attendance. It did not have a substantial impact on the number of swimmers attending meets.
2. Our training fees have been the same since our club started in 2006. They will remain the same for all first season swimmers and for all swimmers who compete at least once a month. Our primary mission is to be a competitive swim team and that requires competing. If families choose not to have swimmers compete at meets they will pay a higher monthly training fee. Group 1 swimmers will pay $35 (instead of $25), Group 2 will increase to $50 (instead of $35), and Group 3 will increase to $70 (instead of $50) If meets are not offered during a month (September and April) there will not be any additional charges.
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.

Below is our spring and summer meet schedule. All swimmers are considered swimming in a meet unless a parent declines attending.
