NCISC Meet February 15th
The
second meet we host is fast approaching. We need everyone in the clubs
help to make this meet a success. There are several volunteer
opportunities available. Here is the link to the job sign-ups.
I'd also like to remind everyone they will see a $10 charge on their
accounts for the concession stand/hospitality room on the upcoming February 1st
invoice. This includes all of our families who's swimmers are swimming
with their middle or high school teams. More meet details will be
available as we approach the 15th.
Winter Weather
I
would like to remind everyone of the policies we follow during the
winter season. If SBCSC or NPUSC cancel school for day, or if they send
students home early, we must cancel our practices as well. This is the
policy of both school corporations.
We
also ask that all swimmers have appropriate winter clothing on when
they arrive/leave practice. We have seen several swimmers leave the
building in shorts, T-shirts, and not wearing coats. Please, have your
swimmers dress appropriately for the weather. This includes wearing a
stocking cap. A good rule of thumb is, when in doubt dress warmer.
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.
