Swim Camps

I received an email from the Purdue assistant coach about the camp they are hosting this summer.  As I receive swim camp information I will pass it along to you. You can click here to visit their website and to register.  They are also offering club discounts.  If 10 members our our club register for the camp you will receive a $50 rebate when you check in the first day of the camp. If we can get 15 members you will receive $75 rebate.

Last Day of the Winter Season/First Day of Spring-Summer Season

Our last practice for all groups will be March 22nd, with the exception of the NP Group 1.  The NP Group 1 will have their last practice on the 19th due 3 middle school meets at New Prairie that week.  All swimmers will be moved to the long course season (spring/summer) billing groups at the end of March. 

If you are not planning on being part of the club during April please let me know sometime prior to March 15th and I will put your swimmer on the inactive roster.  If you have sent me an email about withdrawing from the club you will not be billed any more training fees.  If you are please let me know immediately and I will refund that amount back to your credit card.

Our first practices for the spring/summer season will be the week of April 8th-14th. This is the week we return from spring break.

USA Swimming Officials

As much as I appreciate all the help our parent group provides we still could use more in one area.  Last Saturday we came very close to not having our swims in the morning session officially count.  We were so short on officials we had to call parents of other clubs who were officials so we could start the meet.  The two officials our club does have were at the IHSAA state championships watching their daughters compete.  We have been very fortunate that this situation has not occurred before and we have relied on other clubs to do the vast majority of the officiating.  A large percentage of the officials you see on deck have older swimmers and will soon be gone as their swimmers move on to high school and college.  If you are a parent of a Group 1 or Group 2 swimmer please consider becoming an official.  I will be in touch with Indiana Swimming about hosting an officials clinic at Riley sometime during the spring.  If you have any interest please let me know.

New Pre-Competitive Program for Our Members

Starting this spring we will be piloting a program for 6-7 year old siblings of current and ACTIVE members.  We are just in the planning stages but it looks like we will be on Monday night from 6:00-7:00 and will be limited to 10 swimmers.  Prospective swimmers must already be able to swim one length of the pool.  As we develop this I will share the information with you.

Advertising Credit 


We have had 3 new advertisers to our website this season.  These advertisers were sold ad space by two of our families.  It has generated a total $725.85 of credit on their swim club accounts!  We will give 50% of whatever money raised right back to to you!!  The best sales commission ever?!

A Group 2 or Group 3 annual membership plus all the other associated fees with our membership -- spirit wear, meet surcharges, technology fees, concession stand/hospitality fees, USA Swimming-- is just under $550 for an entire year. (A Group 1 annual membership is about $100 less.)  If you were able to sell two of the the Premiere+ adds it could easily pay for a whole year of swimming including meet entry fees!

Selling a one year ad to one company 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.

NCISC Championship Meet

Thank you to everyone who volunteered their time yesterday.  We could never host a meet, of any size, without the hard work and support of our parent group.  Thanks you all for what you do for our club and swimmers.  Our swimmers did an outstanding job yesterday as well. We had an amazing 113 new best times!  I have attached a PDF copy of the entire meet results.  You can click here to see our results,  here for our updated qualifiers page, and here for our new all-time top ten.  We swam to a 3rd place finish behind Elkhart United and Irish Aquatics.
