Weekly Announcements for Week of 12/22-12/28

Dear SBSC families,


Practice Schedule

RHS Practice Groups

Group 1: Monday and Thursday 10:00-11:30 AM
G1 Elite: Friday 9:15-11:30 AM
Group 2: Monday, Thursday, and Friday 9:15-11:30 AM

NPHS Practice Groups (all times for NP are CST)
Group 1: Monday and Thursday 10:45 AM-12:15 PM
Group 2: Monday and Thursday 10:00 AM-12:15 PM

Practice Notes:   No practice at either site on Tuesday or Wednesday. NP swimmers are allowed to attend their corresponding group's practice at Riley if it is more convenient for the family.  The Group 2 practice on Friday will be a regular practice and will not require the athletes to have extra dry-land clothes.

Entering the Buildings During Break
NP families should use door N18.  The main entrance will be locked.  Riley families should use door #22, the same door we use in the summer. This door is on the northwest corner of the building and faces Fellows street. If parents are staying for practice they should use the stairwell adjacent to door #22 to enter the seating area.

Spirit Wear
The spirit wear is in.  If you'd like your swimmer to pick up your order please send me an email or text (or if your a NP family to Ashley) giving permission for your swimmer to do so.

CON IMX Meet Jan.24th-26th Concord High School
The meet information is still yet to be posted.  Because of this we will extend our deadline to enter this meet through this evening.  As soon as I am able to upload the entry file I will be sending our entry out.

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
