IA Summer Spectacular

I will post the results and update all the pages on our website as soon as I receive the results file.

Triathalon at Potato Creek State Park-Saturday July 14th

I was contacted by the meet director for this event looking for lifeguards.  The guards would be needed from 8-10 AM.  He is willing to pay in cash and cover the gate entry fee expense.  His contact information is Brian18@DINOseries.com and 317-336-7553.

Email Change

Starting this fall the weekly emails will be sent through the administrative dashboard. Please make sure your email address is up to date on your swim club account page.

Summer 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

New Prairie Pool Updates

Coach Ashley was informed they will be starting work on the pool deck on July 23rd so our last practice at NP will be Thursday July 19th. NP swimmers always have the option of attending practices at RHS.  

Last Day of the Summer Season/Start of the Fall Season

Here are the last days for each of our groups

Group 1 and G1 Elite Thursday August 2nd

Group 2 Friday August 3rd

Group 3 Friday August 3rd--We may offer shorter AM practices for this group the week of 8/5-8/11.  I will keep everyone posted.

NP Groups: July 19th-NP swimmers should attend practices at RHS until the end of the season.

No one will be charged any training fees for the month of August.

Our first practice in the fall will be the Tuesday after Labor Day, September 4th.  All swimmers wanting to be part of our program this fall will need to register through our on-line platform.  I plan to have that up and running no later then August 6th.

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.

Spring and Summer Meet Schedule

Below is our spring/summer meet schedule.  Swimmers wanting to compete will need to commit to those meets. If you are only given the option of "yes" or "no" when committing please leave a message in the available notes section of what days you would like to attend.
