Practice Notes: Swimmers attending morning practice
should enter through door #22. This door faces Fellows Street and is on
the the northwest corner of the building. It is the same door we use
during the summer months. Swimmers attending Group 2's Friday practice
should bring dryland clothes including running shoes.
Fall
Registration Paper Work
If you have not done so
already please complete the attached USA
Swimming Membership form and return to practice this week.
Also, all new swimmers
to our club must provide a copy of their birth
certificate. The preferred method, specifically for tracking
purposes, is to scan the birth certificate and email it to me. This way
will create an electronic paper trail and we can fix any questions of
eligibility rather easily.
If during the
registration process you answered "yes" to the question about free/reduced
lunch program you need to provide a letter
from your child's school stating their eligibility for this program.
We have a few new
athletes that are transferring from other clubs. Those athletes need to
fill out the attached transfer form
and return to practice.
Parent
Meetings NPHS 9-27
The New Prairie parent
meeting will be this Thursday from 6-7 in the pool area.
New Scoreboard
After nearly 20 years of
constant malfunctions and repairs we are finally getting a new scoreboard
installed at Riley. Colorado timing is arriving on Monday and plans to
have everything installed by Thursday. There is a training scheduled for this
Thursday afternoon. The time given was "sometime after lunch".
If you are interested in learning how to operate the timing system and
scoreboard let me know. As soon as I know a more confirmed time for the
training I will pass it along.
Intra-Squad
Meet at RHS Tuesday Oct. 2nd
This is an entire team
meet. All swimmers will be entered. There is no need to commit to
this meet, but if your swimmer will be unable to attend please log-in to
your account on our website and decline attendance. We will need
volunteers to time, help with food set-up, and most importantly help with
cleaning the cafeteria when we are done. More information will be coming
as we get closer to the 2nd.
RHS
Port-A-Pit Friday Oct. 5th
Both the boys and girls
swim teams will be doing their annual Port-A-Pit sales at the O'brien Skate
Park. The skate park is located on the corner of Michigan and Walter
streets. Starting Monday, September 17th we will be pre-selling tickets
for half chickens for $7. We will also be selling pit-potatoes for $3 the day
of the event. If you would like a ticket ask any RHS swimmer or you can
purchase one from me after practices.
NCISC
Meet Saturday Oct. 6th and CON Dual Meet Saturday Oct. 13th
More information will be
coming for these meets at the parent meetings. There will be several
opportunities to volunteer for both of these meets and we will need all of our
families help.
Swim-A-Thon
Saturday Oct. 20th.
Everyone should have
received an email with instructions on how to set-up your swimmer's account for
the upcoming Swim-A-Thon. We plan the money raised this year for coach
education, expanding our coaching staff, upgrading our dry-land equipment, and
adding to our video recording capability.
Facebook
Sharing Contest for 2 Free T-shirts
Congratulations to
Stephanie Park for having her name drawn for the free shirts. Thank you
to everyone who shared our FB post. Parents who would like to order a
T-shirt will have the opportunity to order shirts at the parent meeting.
Lifeguard
Class Opportunities
The SBVP&A is
offering classes at Riley High School (flyer attached) and the Kroc Center is
offering classes on Sunday this fall. Here is a link for more information.
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
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.
Fall
and Winter Meet Schedule/Dates of Meet/Location/Deadline to commit
Below is our fall/winter
meet schedule. Swimmers wanting to compete will need to commit to those
meets. The deadlines are based on deadlines that were set last year. They
may change once the meet hosts posts the meet information. When
committing to multiple day meets please leave a message in the available notes
section of what days you would like to attend. Meets marked with an * are meets
that require swimmers to meet certain time standards. All pool locations
can be found on our website under the "Pools" tab
