New Meet information and calendars

 November calendars are available in the pool area.  Make sure you check the calendar daily, as times will fluctuate daily.  
 
The Oak Hill entries are due back to Marcie NO LATER than next Thursday, November 7th, at the end of practice.  This is a great meet for all swimming levels.  It is a one day meet which makes it very nice for the newer swimmers!  The meet will be held Saturday, November 23rd. 
 
Some swimmers have qualified for the IM Xtreme Meet November 16-17 at the IU Natatorium.  This meet is only for those that have competed in certain events and have achieved a certain number of points.   There is also a meet on the same days that is called the IM Ready.  There are also qualifying scores for that meet as well. There will be swimmers here from 5-6 states. I do know that anyone who participates, must swim the 5-6 required events.  There is information posted on Indiana Swimming web page.  If you are interested, please email a coach to see if your child has qualified for this meet. However, the deadline to enter this meet is Friday of this week. So, if you are somewhat interested, please check with Missy and she will let you know if your swimmer has qualified.  This is a great opportunity for the kids to swim in the Natatorium

FAST Meet information

The information for the FAST meet at Fishers High School on December 6-8 is available at the pool.    We have received an email that they are opening an early entry for returning teams.  If you are not familiar with this meet, there are approximately 800 swimmers and the meet will fill up with teams from several states.  Therefore, we need to get our entries in so that we are assured a spot in the meet.  They will have to turn teams away.  This meet is prelims/finals meet for the 11 and older swimmers and a  timed finals meet for 10 and under. Attention Jay County High School Girl Swimmers:  If you are interested in participating in this meet, talk to Coach Slavick for a waiver. 
 
This is the same weekend that we are offering the CARD meet at Muncie Central High School and we do not need to post that info. yet.
 
If you are wondering which meet to attend, the FAST  meet is geared for the Blue team swimmers, but everyone is welcome to attend.  The CARD meet is a much more relaxed atmosphere and they have special heat winners with Christmas music and it is a very nice meet for the younger kids.  It does have a Christmas theme!! If you have any questions about which meet would be best for your swimmer, please talk to a coach.

 There are a few JAY caps available and more have been ordered.  The caps are white silicone caps (thicker caps) with JAY in blue and red.  They are not mandatory, but they do look very nice and it makes it easier to recognize our swimmers - especially when we are at a larger meet.  The cost of the caps are $12.00 each.  (At least that is the price of the caps that are on hand.  (The price on the new caps may increase based on when the caps are received and the invoice price)
