NPHS Practice Groups
Group 1 No practice this week at NPHS -Come to RHS!
Group 2&3 No practice at NPHS this week-Come to RHS!

Practice Notes: Any Group 2 swimmer attending Friday's PM practice are reminded to wear dry-land clothes including running shoes. A very small number of Group 2 swimmers will begin tapering this week for the upcoming IA meet.  Those swimmers will end M, T, and TH practice by 7:00.  Friday's practice will remain the same length.  I will follow up with an email to those families this will apply to.  As always, NP swimmers are allowed to attend any of their group's corresponding practice at Riley.

Email Change
Last Thursday I sent an email out to all active accounts on our club regarding this weekend's meets.  I sent the email directly from the administrative dashboard of our website.  Starting this fall the weekly emails will be sent the same way.  If you did not receive the email please check your spam (or any of your other folders that receive mail.)  If you still did not receive the email please respond to this email with the account you believe is associated with your swim club account.

Munster Summer Splash and NASA Summer Invite
I will post all the results and update all pertinent pages when I receive the results file.

Group 2 Swimmers Attending AM Practices
Group 2 swimmers are allowed to attend AM workouts based on their age.  11 year olds once a week, 12 year olds twice, 13-3 times, and 14-4 times per week.  Group 2 swimmers will need to be above 75% attendance of their practices to attend AM workouts and have at least one Divisional cut in their age group.  If a swimmer does not meet those requirements they may still be granted permission to attend.  AM practices begin with 30-40 minutes in the weight room.  Our philosophy is this type of training is not appropriate for younger swimmers.  Swimmers 11-13 year attending morning practice should be on the pool deck at 7:00 and begin their dynamic stretching routine.  Group swimmers 2 attending AM workouts will also be charged an additional $15 each month they attend workouts.

Summer Hour and Entrance Into The Building
For building security purposes we are asking all swimmers and parents to enter and exit the building through door #22.  This door is on the northwest corner of the building and faces Fellows Street.  There is a stairwell at this entrance that leads directly to our seating area.  That door will be the one we open for parents who choose to stay and watch practice. Please do not use, or prop open, the double blue doors at the east end of the seating gallery. Swimmers will be directed to leave the building through door #22, parents please plan to pick up you swimmers at that end of the building

Our entry has been sent.  Important meet information will be included in a future weekly email.

New Prairie Pool Updates
NPHS will have building shutdowns this summer due to  electrical (intermittent power) and plumbing work.  The building will be closed this week and next. NP swimmers always have the option of attending practices at RHS.  

Advertising Credit 
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.
