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.

Time Trials for Swimmers Near Cut Times
On Sunday
night of the Last Chance meet Concord is offering a time trial. This is
another opportunity for our swimmers to try to get a cut. Swimmers
entered in the meet can do additional events as long as they have not
done more then 6 races for the entire day. The cost of each time trial
attempt is $5. If they are not entered in the meet they can still do
the time trial for an additional $2 to enter the meet. The time trial
runs fairly fast. I would advise anyone doing the time trials should
limit their attempts to one or possibly two events. All fees are to be
paid when signing up your swimmer at the time trial sign up desk.
Divisional Relays
It
seems that several of our families who have swimmers on this list
missed this part of the email last week. I will be following up with
another email this evening to those families who have swimmers on the
list and have yet to contact me or commit to to the meet.
So,
as a reminder for those who saw this last week we are allowed to enter
two relays in each age group for each relay offered. As of our meet
last weekend these are current relays for our 10 and under swimmers,
11-12 year old swimmers, and our 13-14 year old swimmers. I will make a
decision on the 15 and over relays as the meet approaches. If your
swimmer is on the list and you know they will not be attending please
let me know so the next swimmer in line can be informed. If you will be
attending the meet please commit your swimmer.
Keep
in mind, there are some relays that will need all four of the swimmers
to commit for us to be able to have that relay swim at Divisionals.
This is just a rough draft and NO position is guaranteed. Please note,
this year we have been assigned to the Divisional meet being held at
Lake Central High School in St. John, Indiana.
End of Season/Spring Summer Season
The last day of practice for the winter season for our Group 1 and Group 2 swimmers will be Thursday March 19th. The last day for our Group 3 swimmers will be March 25th or 26th. The spring and summer season will begin Monday April 13th. If you are not planning on swimming in the spring please inform me no later then Sunday March 15th to avoid your account being charged
Lifeguard Class at Riley and Clay High School
I
have attached a flyer for lifeguard classes that will be held at Riley
and Clay this spring. If you have questions use the contact information
included on the flyer.
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.
