Reminders
Good Luck to all swimmers this weekend! We will have the majority of the
swimmers at Oak Hill and there will be a few swimmers at the IM Extreme Games and
the IM Ready Meet in Indianapolis for a two day meet. Warmups for the morning
session at Oak Hill are at 7:00am for the 8 & unders and 11-12 year olds. Warmups
for the afternoon session for the 9-10 and 13 & over will begin not before
12:00 noon.
REMINDER: NO PRACTICE MONDAY, November 19!!!
As scheduled, there is no practice Monday due to a high school girls meet and the high school boys will be practicing after school. As the calendar states, we are offering practice for all swimmers on Wednesday, November 21.
There was a board meeting on Wednesday of this week and the board decided to donate 3 lane line discs to the high school. This is done in exchange for us using the pool. If you haven't noticed, one of the lane line reels is completely broken and several are cracked and are in need of replacement.
Each disc is approx. $300.00 and the swim club is able to donate a little over $900.00 for this. Once again, we need to be very appreciative that we are not charged rent for the use of the pool and this is how we are able to show our appreciation!

Important information
Important information from the coaches:
New Castle meet: If you are swimming in the afternoon session, you do not need to be signed in by 8:10 am. This must be a mistake. If you do not swim until the afternoon session, please do not feel that you need to be there by 8:10 am. There should be a sign in for the afternoon session as well.
The next piece of information is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT FOR ALL JAY COUNTY RESIDENTS (however, if you do not live in Jay County and want to show your support, you are welcome as well!)
Tuesday, November 13th, there is a Park Board Meeting and we are encouraging all of you to attend at 7:00 p.m. at the Portland Fire Station. We need to show our support for the Portland Pool. We are asking that you spread the word and invite all of your family members to this meeting. If we do not show our support and the need for an outdoor pool, it is very likely that it will not be open next season. This is not only for swim team members, but probably more important for those of you that visit the pool on a regular basis in the summer months. Please feel free to invite as many pool patrons as you can. Please get the word out and plan to attend.
In order for us to show our support, we are altering our practice next Tuesday. We will hold practice from 6-6:45 for all groups. Yes, everyone will be done in 45 minutes and we ask that you dress quickly and report to the fire station. (No showers!) Marcie, Bev and Missy would like to represent our community so we are doing what we feel is necessary. Your kids are welcome, and encouraged, to attend.
Great job to all swimmers this past weekend and good luck to all this weekend at New Castle.
