Team Suit Fitting
Kathy Lampert of Just Add H2O will be at Riley this Thursday for a suit fitting starting at 5:00.  We have recently signed an agreement with Just Add H20 and TYR Sport to be our apparel vendor.  Kathy's store is the only local swim shop in the South Bend area.  Team suits are not required but we recommend them for those who can make them fit into their budgets.  Also, for the first time we will be having our logo embroidered on the suits as well.  Very soon we will also have a link on our website to an on-line store, set-up and managed by Just Add H20.

Lifeguarding Class
The Arts Parks & Venues Department is holding a lifeguard class this fall at Washington High School.  See the attached flyer for more information.

Parent Meeting
Thank you to the NP parents who came to the meeting on Thursday.  Those parents that were not able to attend should contact Coach Ashley about setting a time up with her to discuss what was missed.

The Riley parent meeting will be the this Tuesday the 19th at 6:00.  We will meet in the cafeteria.  The cafeteria is located on the 2nd floor and just a short walk from the pool's seating gallery

Swim-A-Thon
We are off to a very slow start.  Please remember the funds raised are vital to our club's operation.  I will send out another email either later today or first thing tomorrow morning with more directions.

RHS Swimming Port-A-Pit
The boys and girls Riley Swim Team will be holding their annual Port-A-Pit chicken sale this Friday, September 22nd. We will be in a new location this year.  We will be in the O’brien Skate Park parking lot on the corner of Walter and Michigan Streets.  It is just a few hundred yards north of the US 20 bypass on the east side of the street. Pre-sale tickets can be picked up from any swimmer for $7.  A large percentage of the equipment we use has been purchased by the high school teams so if you (or someone you know) enjoys Port-A-Pit chicken please consider having chicken for dinner on the 22nd!  We plan to have the first chicken's ready to pull off the grill for lunch by 11:30

Required Paperwork
Thank you to all the families who brought in the required paperwork.  We do still have several families who need to turn in more items
1. If you are brand new to the club/USA Swimming you need to provide a copy of your swimmer's birth certificate
2.  All swimmers (this includes returning athletes) need to fill out a USA Swimming form each year.  The form is attached.
3. If during registration you answered yes to the question regarding free/reduced lunch you will need to provide documentation from your swimmer's school stating their eligibility.

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.
