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.
Upcoming Meets
Tonight, Sunday October 21st, is the deadline to commit to the SWAC meet being held in Ft. Wayne at the HPB Natatorium the weekend of November 16th-18th.
This meet is most appropriate for our swimmers with more experience.
It is not being limited, but if you are new to the team this season I
suggest you choose either Saturday or Sunday to attend. I would like ALL of our Group 3 swimmers to attend this meet. This does require a waiver for the high school girls but not the boys.
Next Sunday, October 28th, is the deadline to commit to the LCB Invite (11/30-12/2). It is also the deadline to commit to the IA Invite (1/4-1/6). We are also asking all of the Group 3 athletes commit to the IA Invite.
This meet will require a waiver for all highs school swimmers. I
realize these meets are several weeks away and you might not know your
family's plans. Both meet directors allow us to make modifications a
couple of weeks prior to the meet, including removing swimmers from the
entry. So, if there is a possibility for these meets please commit your
swimmer.
Swim-A-Thon
Thank you to all the parents who volunteered to count laps yesterday.
A bigger thanks to all the families who went out and received donations
this year. This is the 6th year in a row we have reached our goal.
The Swim-a-thon officially runs through the 27th. If you have received
cash or check donations you can turn those in at practice this week.
On-line donations are also still being accepted through this week as
well.
We
had 70 swimmers receive donations this season. We currently have 144
swimmers on our rosters. While it is very gratifying to reach our goal
every season it is more then a little disappointing so many are choosing
not to participate. This is the only fundraising we do the entire
year. Swimming clubs across the country have minimum fundraising
requirements attached to their memberships. I hope we are never in that
position where it becomes a requirement for us. If you did not raise
any money this year and you have a reason why you didn't, please let me
know.
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 approximately $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
