NCISC Meet February 15th
As of this morning
we only have 19 families who have signed up to volunteer for this meet.
We are fortunate to be able to host this meet in our home pool and 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. We CAN NOT host this meet without your help. Please volunteer your time for for your child's club!
The deadline to commit your athletes to this meet is next Sunday February 9th.
Speedo Sectionals Elkhart Aquatics Center March 26th-29th
They
are anticipating a high turnout of athletes for this meet and they are
putting a cap on the number of swimmers they are allowing to compete.
The entry process opens on February 10th.
I plan on sending our entry as soon as it opens to guarantee our
swimmers their spot in the meet. The deadline to commit to this meet is tonight Sunday February 2nd.
New Prairie Group 2/NPMS Swimming
Thursday, February 6th,
will be the last Group 2 practice offered at New Prairie due to middle
school swim season starting on the 10th. To those families that have
swimmers in that group your swim club accounts have been credited 75% of
the February training fees. If there are swimmers that would like to
continue practicing with the club they are more then welcome to attend
Riley practices. If your swimmer plan's on attending those practices
your account will be charged for the whole month. Just like high school
swimmers, middle school swimmers are still members of the club during
their school season. Any time done at a sanctioned middle school meet
(also for high school meets) can be used to qualify for Divisionals, Age
Group/Senior State, and Speedo Sectionals.
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.
