Practice Notes: Please, prior to leaving for practice check your email, our website, or any of our social sites for weather related cancellations.  Also, please remember if either NPUSC or SBCSC cancels school for the day we must also cancel our club practices. Due to middle school swim season beginning this week some of our NP Group 1 practices will run from 6:45 until 8:15.  Swimmers attending Friday practice are reminded to bring dry-land clothes including running shoes.  New Prairie swimmers are welcome to attend their corresponding group's practice at Riley. New Prairie swimmers and parents are asked to enter NPHS through door S6.

NCISC Meet Saturday February 9th Riley High School
I sent an email yesterday to all families who have yet to volunteer for this meet.  This is the last time we will need our entire membership to volunteer until next fall.  Please, we can not host meets without the help of parent volunteers. To volunteer, log into our website, click on the "Meets/Events" tab, under the NCISC Championship Meet click on the "job signup" button, select the volunteer role you'd like to fill. Easy Peasy!

Here are the pertinent times for Saturday's meet.

Saturday AM Session-for all 10 and under swimmers
Warm-up 9:00-9:30 for 9-10 year olds, 9:30-9:50 for 6-8 year olds-all of our swimmers need to be on deck by 8:45
Meet Starts 10:00

Saturday PM Session-for all 11 and over swimmers
Warm-ups 12:30-1:20-our swimmers should be on deck by 12:15
Meet Starts 1:30
 
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.

NP Group 2
These swimmers have been removed from the billing cycle and should not have seen any training fees for the month of February.  If there was an error please let me know and I will correct immediately.  If there is a NP Group 2 swimmer that would like to supplement their middle school practices by attending practices at Riley just let me know.  The standard monthly training fees ($35) will apply

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
