Practice Notes:

If you arrive at Penn and the gallery door is locked, please feel free to get my attention on deck to let me know.

Speedo Sectionals/IU Natatorium-Indy/March 27-30

Here is our entry. I will be the coach on deck for this meet. If you are running late please have your athlete send me a text (574-276-6057). Here are the times for this upcoming weekend’s meet.

Prelims Thursday-Sunday

Warm-ups 6:30-8:20

Meet Starts 8:30

Finals Thursday-Saturday

Warm-ups 4:00-5:15

Meet Starts 5:30

Finals Sunday

Warm-ups 3:00-4:15

Meet Starts 4:30

We will have varying times for athletes to arrive at the pool for prelim warm-ups. If your athlete is swimming on Thursday I would like them to be on deck no later than 6:30. This meet is going to be crowded (approximately 850 athletes) and we want to ensure we have a place on deck and get an adequate warm-up. Prelims on subsequent days may have each athlete with a unique time they need to report. This will be based on their events for the day and how crowded the previous day warm-ups were.

For finals, the general guideline will be to be on deck at the start of warm-ups. This may also change based on an athlete's events. If an athlete does not qualify for finals the expectation is they will return for finals if any Marlins do qualify. The only exception would be if it delays travel plans back home.

Last Day of Fall/Winter Season/First Day Spring/Summer

The last practice for all Penn Groups will be Wednesday March 26. The last practice for all NP Groups was Wednesday March 19. The last day at KCC will be Thursday March 27.

All locations will start the spring/summer season the week of April 13.

USA Memberships

We will need all of our athletes that have not done so already, to renew their USA Swimming memberships. Here is the link. From my experience with my own athletes just purchasing the membership will initiate the transfer process.

If you qualify for the Outreach Program email me and I will send you the link you will need to use for registrations.

If you have any questions about any registration issues you can reach out to me or our team/business manager Kelly Laneman ([email protected])

Fall and Winter Meet Schedule/Dates of Meet/Location/Deadline to commit

This is our tentative meet schedule for the fall and winter. We may add meets if we find ones that fit our club’s needs. There will be two different dates listed with each meet The first date listed is the day(s) of the meet and the second date is the deadline to commit.

Swimmers wanting to compete will need to commit to those meets. The deadlines will be based on deadlines that were set in previous years. They may change once the meet hosts posts the meet information. When committing to multiple day meets, if the option to select the days you want is not available, leave a message in the notes section stating the specific days you would like to attend.

Some meets will be marked with an * and those will require swimmers to meet minimum time standards. You can view all pool locations on our website under the "Pools" tab.
