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
Thank you to everyone for a great meet yesterday.  Here are the links to the updated pages on our website: Our Results, All-Time Top Ten, and our Qualifiers.

CON Last Chance Meet Feb. 22nd-24th Concord High School
I have attached our entry with updated times after yesterday's meet.  Parents of our younger swimmers please make sure you are writing your swimmers event numbers and events on their arms/hands.  It really does make a difference for our coaches at the meet.  I realize this is a week early, but here are the pertinent times.

Doors open 3:30
Warm-ups 4:00-5:00 (our swimmers need to be on deck by 3:45)

Divisional Championships Northridge High School March 1st-3rd
The deadline for committing to this meet is one week from today, Sunday February 17th.  I realize this is a week prior to the CON Last Chance meet. But, if your swimmer qualifies for Divisionals at this meet we are still allowed to add them to our entry.  Please remember this is a meet that requires time standards.
 
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
