I will be sending an update prior to leaving practice tomorrow evening.  If you notice any errors to our entry please let me know immediately.  I will be the coach on deck the entire meet.  If your swimmer is going to be late or will be missing they need to text me.  Here are the pertinent times for next weekend's meet

End of Season/Spring Summer Season
The last day of practice for the NP Group 1 will be Tuesday March 17th.  The last day of practice for the winter season for the Riley 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 next Sunday March 15th to avoid your account being charged

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
