Triathalon at Potato Creek State Park-Saturday July 14th
I was contacted by the meet director for this event looking for lifeguards.  The guards would be needed from 8-10 AM.  He is willing to pay in cash and cover the gate entry fee expense.  His contact information is Brian18@DINOseries.com and 317-336-7553.

Email Change
Starting this fall the weekly emails will be sent through the administrative dashboard. Please make sure your email address is up to date on your swim club account page.

Summer Entrance Into The Building
For building security purposes we are asking all swimmers and parents to enter and exit the building through door #22.  This door is on the northwest corner of the building and faces Fellows Street.  There is a stairwell at this entrance that leads directly to our seating area.  That door will be the one we open for parents who choose to stay and watch practice. Please do not use, or prop open, the double blue doors at the east end of the seating gallery. Swimmers will be directed to leave the building through door #22, parents please plan to pick up you swimmers at that end of the building

New Prairie Pool Updates
Coach Ashley was informed they will be starting work on the pool deck on July 23rd so our last practice at NP will be Thursday July 19th. NP swimmers always have the option of attending practices at RHS.  
Last Day of the Summer Season/Start of the Fall Season
Here are the last days for each of our groups
Group 1 and G1 Elite Thursday August 2nd
Group 2 Friday August 3rd
Group 3 Friday August 3rd--We may offer shorter AM practices for this group the week of 8/5-8/11.  I will keep everyone posted.
NP Groups: July 19th-NP swimmers should attend practices at RHS until the end of the season.

No one will be charged any training fees for the month of August.

Our first practice in the fall will be the Tuesday after Labor Day, September 4th.  All swimmers wanting to be part of our program this fall will need to register through our on-line platform.  I plan to have that up and running no later then August 6th.

Advertising Credit 
A Group 2 or Group 3 annual membership plus all the other associated fees with our membership -- spirit wear, meet surcharges, technology fees, concession stand/hospitality fees, USA Swimming-- is just under $550 for an entire year. (A Group 1 annual membership is about $100 less.)  If you were able to sell two of the the Premiere+ adds it could easily pay for a whole year of swimming including meet entry fees!
Selling a one year ad to one company could earn you anywhere from $50 to almost $500. Here is the link for more information. 

Another easy way to earn credit for your swim club account is to hang our recruiting posters out in the public. For every poster you hang you will receive a $5 credit up to $25. Once you hang the poster post a pic of it on your Facebook page (or other social site) and tag the club.

IHSAA Moratorium Week
Each summer the IHSAA mandates the week that contains July 4th there is to be no contact between high school coaches and their athletes.  I will be at practice but I will not be on deck. I will be sequestered in my office and available to meet with any non-high school swimmer or any parent.  All high school swimmers (or soon to be high school swimmers) are not to be in the office for any reason. 

Swimmers are not to arrive to practice prior to 6:20 AM or 4:50 PM.  No swimmer will be let into the building until another coach arrives.

Here are the pertinent times for this weekend's meet.

Friday and Saturday AM Sessions-all 12 and under swimmers

Meet Starts 8:00

Meet starts at 8:00


Here are some other items from the IA meet director
  • We will be running flyovers for all sessions, but will be more aggressive in the 13 & Over sessions as there are a lot of heats to get through. Please be sure that your swimmers are prepared for this ahead of time.
  • If your swimmer misses a swim (and it is not our fault), we will not be creating new opportunities for them to make up that swim. 
  • I am going to be working with the warm up situation in the next day or two. We may need to split the warm up into 2 sessions to make sure there is enough room. There are roughly 350 swimmers in each session so I will work to get swimmers the most space to warm up as possible.
  • All sessions will be swum in 8 lanes. The 13 & Over sessions will have short 5 minute warm up/ cool down breaks at the end of each boys event. There will not be warm up breaks in the 12 & Under session.
  • The distance sessions will be run fastest to slowest, alternating 1 heat of girls with 1 heat of boys. There will be a separate sign in for these sessions available at the timing table during the morning session.
  • There is a pre-order available for meet apparel. Pre-orders will be available until Tuesday and the orders can be picked up at the meet. Please pass this link on to your team: https://squareup.com/store/just-add-h2o-inc?t=merchant-fb 
  • The psych sheet and meet information has been posted to Meet Mobile. I will update those with any time udates that may come in.

Group 2 Swimmers Attending AM Practices
Group 2 swimmers are allowed to attend AM workouts based on their age.  11 year olds once a week, 12 year olds twice, 13-3 times, and 14-4 times per week.  Group 2 swimmers will need to be above 75% attendance of their practices to attend AM workouts and have at least one Divisional cut in their age group.  If a swimmer does not meet those requirements they may still be granted permission to attend.  AM practices begin with 30-40 minutes in the weight room.  Our philosophy is this type of training is not appropriate for younger swimmers.  Swimmers 11-13 year attending morning practice should be on the pool deck at 7:00 and begin their dynamic stretching routine.  Group swimmers 2 attending AM workouts will also be charged an additional $15 each month they attend workouts.

Summer Entrance Into The Building
For building security purposes we are asking all swimmers and parents to enter and exit the building through door #22.  This door is on the northwest corner of the building and faces Fellows Street.  There is a stairwell at this entrance that leads directly to our seating area.  That door will be the one we open for parents who choose to stay and watch practice.

New Prairie Pool Updates
NPHS will have building shutdowns this summer due to  electrical (intermittent power) and plumbing work.  The building will be closed this week and we are planning on being back up and running practice the following week (7/7-7/13). Coach Ashley was informed they will be starting work on the pool deck on July 23rd so our last practice at NP will be Thursday July 19th. NP swimmers always have the option of attending practices at RHS.

Group 1 and G1 Elite Thursday August 2nd
