From Head Coach's Desk - Important Reminders
  • SUSA  Future Stars Meet, Friday, May 9 - Our first Future Stars meet of the season is Friday, May 9 at Eisenhower Pool.  All Novice and Bronze group swimmers are eligible to participate in this meet.  The meet should last until about 7:00 p.m.  There are awards for all swimmers that participate in the meet.  We have posted a sign-up sheet on the SUSA bulletin board.  We hope that all our Novice and Bronze swimmers take advantage of this wonderful meet.  We will need assistance from SUSA parents, and SUSA swimmers (Silver, Blue, Gold, Senior group swimmers) in the running of this meet.
    • Warm-ups - 5:30 p.m.
    • Meet Starts - 6:00 p.m.
    • Sign-up sheets - At Eisenhower Pool
    • Caps - as a reminder - only SUSA Team caps can be worn at  SUSA team meets.  If you need to purchase a SUSA cap please see Coach Jeff
       
  • Practice Schedule Change - No Practice Friday, May 9 - Due to the Future Stars meet all practices on Friday, May 9 have been cancelled.  We need the assistance of our Silver, Blue, Gold and Senior swimmers in the running of the meet so we would still love to see all of you at the pool on Friday night
     
  • Meet Sign-up Sheets - As a reminder, if your have not returned your meet sign-up sheets as of yet please do so right away. 
     
  • SUSA Capital City Classic - June 6-8  - We are already beginning to complete the meet entry for the SUSA Capital City Classic meet.  All SUSA swimmers are expected to participate in this meet as it is our big home meet of the year.  Please be sure to return you meet sign-up sheet right away so we can enter you in this meet.
     
  • Decatur Meets - As some of you already know, the pool that the Decatur Swim Club uses for their two summer meets will not open this summer due to extensive damage. The Decatur Swim Club is looking at alternative locations for this meet but is does not look good at this point.  As such, their two meets on our schedule (June 20-22 and July 11-13) may be cancelled.  We are currently looking at alternative meets and should have an answer to you by this weekend.  We are looking at other meets in the Chicago and Indianapolis areas (unfortunately there are not other meets available that are closer).  Once we make a decision about which meets we will attend we will send out meet sign-up sheets for those meets.  In the mean time please continue to return your meet sign-up sheets so we can enter you in the rest of the meets on our schedule.  Note:  if you previously did not sign-up for the meet in Quincy you may want to consider doing so now that the meets in Decatur may be cancelled.  The Quincy meet is a great meet for all of our swimmers.
