Declaring For Meets
Since we have switched over to a new, more mobile friendly, website some of you may be having trouble declaring for meets. The process is still the same but if you are using a computer you may have to get to the meet declaration page differently. On the old website there was a tab at the top of the page listed as "Meets". There is no longer a meets tab. But if you click on the "Calendar" tab and when that page opens click on the "Team Events" tab and that will pull the page with all of our meets. You can also scroll down and on the right hand side of the page there is a section listed as "Upcoming Events", click on "Team Events" and you will see all of our upcoming meets. If you are using the website on your phone just scroll down until you the "Upcoming Events" section. If you have been using the OnDeck App to declare for meets that process should be the same.
Divisional Relays
I have attached a rough draft of what our Divisional relay entries could be. We are allowed to enter 2 relay teams per relay event. This is where we stand after the first 4 meets. Please note this is not final. So many things can change. This is just for your information and to let you know your swimmer may be one of our relay swimmers. The plan is to update this report after the DUNE meet in December, the IMX meet in January, and each of the meets in February. Final decisions for relay selections will not be until the Monday prior to the Divisional meet.
Spirit Wear
All order forms and checks are due tomorrow. The order form is attached. NP families you can turn your ord I will be driving to New Prairie after we finish practice at Riley on Monday to pick up the forms. I should arrive between 7:15 and 7:30 CST.
Just Add H2O
I received an email from Kathy, the owner of Just Add H20, regarding placing custom orders in time for Christmas presents. All orders must be in by today December 1st. Any order placed after that time will not be guaranteed to be done before Christmas. Please plan ahead. This is a small shop with only few employees. They are also the only local swim shop in the area. An area that includes several club and high school teams. Again, please plan ahead.
Group 2 Night at RHS Thursday December 5th
Each year we invite all of our Group 2 swimmers to help time at a RHS dual meet. This year it will be this Thursday, December 5th, Vs. South Bend Clay. We'd like everyone to arrive no later then 5:30 and to be wearing this season's team shirt. If for some reason they do not have or have misplaced their shirt please wear a gray T-shirt. The club will provide pizza and drinks for all those who are able to attend. Families of Group 2 swimmers should have received an email notice/invitation to this event again yesterday. If your swimmer is able to help time please commit them to the meet so I will know how much pizza to purchase. Commit to this event like you would any other meet.

New USA Swimming Guidelines-MAAPP
USA Swimming issued a directive with regards to electronic communication and social media contact between coaches and athletes. Most of what is being implemented is common sense and falls in line with our club's policies. One new requirement we will need to adhere to is how your minor child communicates with me. For several years I have asked swimmers in Group 2 and Group 3 to text/email me if they would be missing practice. Moving forward, swimmers will be instructed to include a parent on all communication with me.
If you are the parent of a Group 2 or Group 3 swimmer, and have never sent me a text before, please text me so I have your contact info in my phone. This way if I need to contact your swimmer about missing practice I can be sure to include you. My cell phone number is 574-276-6057.
I encourage all parents and swimmers to read the full policy. We are required to keep this policy on our website, here is the link.
Fall and Winter Meet Schedule/Dates of Meet/Location/Deadline to commit
Below is our fall/winter meet schedule. The first date listed is the day(s) of the meet and second date is the deadline to commit. Swimmers wanting to compete will need to commit to those meets. The deadlines are based on deadlines that were set last year (or best guess for new meets). They may change once the meet hosts posts the meet information. When committing to multiple day meets please if the option to select the days you want is not available, please leave a message in the available notes section of the specific 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
