An email was sent out today with some team news. If you are not receiving the emails from Coach Chris, please contact him.
1. Please turn in a school picture for the CIA bulletin board. Every time your child swims a best time, B, A, or REG time at a meet, a sticker will be added.
2. With the basketball season getting underway, please do not park along the curb by the pool door. Please park in the lot. Security will ticket cars that are parked along the curb. During games, barricades may block that driveway as well. You may wait in your car for your child along the curb after practice.
3. Please make sure your swimmer arrives before their practice time. Swimmers should have caps, goggles, and equipment ready to go at 5:00 or 6:00. Too many kids are coming in after practice has started, and it is disruptive to the team.
4. The older practice is very full. The lanes are crowded. Because of this, any 8 and 9 year-olds need to go to the earlier practice.
10 and under: 5:00-6:00 11 and up: 6:00 to 7:30
Here are the top swim times to date:
Here are the results from the Champaign Erin Block Swim Meet. Congratulations to all CIA swimmers!!
Swimming has long been a sport about achievements. Now, with the launch of USA Swimming’s “Deck Pass”, a new online and mobile application, swimmers can easily connect with one another and share their achievements with other members of the swimming community.
Deck Pass is an innovative digital application that lets swimmers track their best times, set goals and earn digital patches for their accomplishments in the pool. It’s easy, free to use and is designed to let swimmers capture what they’re accomplishing in the water online and then share with their friends and family. Users can access Deck Pass online or via a free mobile application.
Deck Pass users can choose to connect their accounts with Facebook to share their swimming milestones with their friends and family. The program is also a great motivational tool that is designed to help guide to swimmers to achievements both in and out of the water. For example, if a swimmer swims a best time at a recent meet, they will automatically earn a digital patch celebrating their achievement.
While Deck Pass times updates are automatic for USA Swimming members, the application can be used by anyone. Whether you’re a recreational swimmer, a club swimmer or even a coach, Deck Pass has something for everyone!

BEING A SWIM PARENT
The most important thing you can do as the parent of a swimmer is to love and support your child, both in and out of the pool. This support is a key factor in fostering enjoyment and learning as well as contributing to the child’s individual success in the pool.
KEY TOPICS AND READING FOR PARENTS:
- Understanding Coaches – A critical component to an athlete’s healthy swimming experience is a positive relationship between the parent and coach
- Understanding Training – As an parent of a swimmer, you might not always understand why coaches have swimmers train the way they do.
- Articles for Parents – Being a swim parent is a great experience, but can sometime be overwhelming. In addition to all of the resources in the Parents Section of the website, we regularly post new articles about being a swim parent.
