Practice Notes:
New Prairie families continue to use door N18 to enter the building. We have been asked by the school administration to have our families and athletes not arrive at the school prior to 4:45 CST.
No Friday practice at Penn due to scheduled maintenance and PHM’s fall break. No practice at KCC on Saturday due to the WAC Monster Splash Invite.
Swim A Thon
Another great event for our swimmers yesterday. Several of our younger swimmers completed their 200 lengths for their first time. One athlete made it with under 10 seconds to spare! We appreciate everyone who contributed to this year’s fundraiser. We will officially close this year’s SAT on 10/31 so you still have time to help us raise even more!

Fall and Winter Meet Schedule/Dates of Meet/Location/Deadline to commit
This is our meet schedule for the fall and winter. We may add meets if we find ones that fit our club’s needs or delete meets if there is not enough interest from our members. 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.
Meets marked with an * require swimmers to meet minimum time standards. You can view all pool locations on our website under the "Pools" tab.
