New Prairie swimmers and parents are asked to enter NPHS through door S6.

Purdue Swim Camps
The information flyer is attached.  If we have 10 swimmers from the club attend the camp each swimmer will receive a $50 rebate when they check in on Sunday of the camp.  If we have 15 swimmers they will receive a $75 rebate.

Any other camp information I receive I will pass along in the weekly emails

Divisionals 3/1-3/3 Northridge High School
I have attached our entry as of early Friday afternoon. I will be able to make changes/additions/deletions through tomorrow evening. If your swimmer swam a new cut time time this weekend please email me.  This will help avoid any errors on my part.

Here are the pertinent times for this weekend's meet

Last Day of the Winter Season
The last scheduled practice for each of our Groups will be Thursday March 21st.  If we have athletes who are choosing to attend Speedo Sectionals we will of course offer practices for those swimmers.  After the 21st all swimmers will be moved to the long course season (spring/summer) for billing purposes.  If you are not planning on swimming the spring/summer season please let me know prior to March 15th

Our first practice for the spring/summer season will be the week of April 7th-13th, the week following spring break.

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 under the "Pools" tab
