are reminded to bring dry-land clothes, including running shoes. NP
swimmers are welcome to attend any of their corresponding group's
practices at RHS.
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. I have attached an informational flyer. 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.
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. 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.
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.
USA Swimming Officials
As much as I appreciate all the help our parent group provides we still could use more in one area. Yesterday,
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.
