Here are just a few of the officials volunteering at AG Champs this weekend. We’ve had a great turn out of officials for the meet! Thank you, NCS meet officials!
2021 Zone Team applicant tracker
Below is the 2021 NCS Zone Team Selection spreadsheet link for parents to view and track their swimmer’s progress over the weekend for both 14 & Under AG Champs, as well as Senior Sectionals.
All applicants MUST be on the spreadsheet before Saturday, July 17, end of Prelims session by 10am!
Completed applications along with checks will be accepted until 10:00 am on Saturday, July 17 for 11-14 athletes and until 10:00 am on Saturday, July 17 for 15-18 athletes at their respective NCS Age Group Championship Meet and Senior Sectional Meet. However, due to the complexity of the selection process, applicants are strongly urged to get the applications in earlier, if possible.
Senior (age 15-18) selection will be based on times through the Senior Sectional Meet in Greensboro, July 15-18. Swimmers should apply even if they are not participating in the Senior Sectional meet.
ZONE TEAM SELECTION POLICY
For the 2021 Southern Zone Championship, 16 athletes (8 males and 8 females) will be selected in each age group—11-12; 13-14 and 15-18—to represent North Carolina Swimming. Since no athlete can compete who has achieved USA Swimming Junior National qualifying times, the closer an athlete is to those qualifying times, the better he or she can expect to do in the competition. Top 6 based on overall points will be selected for the team and 2 coaches picks to make the most well rounded team representing NCS at the SZAG Championship meet in Tupelo, MS.
GAC to host U.S. Open and Winter Juniors
North Carolina Swimmers won’t have to travel far this winter to attend the 2021 Toyota U.S. Open and Winter Junior Nationals. This year’s Toyota U.S. Open will take place December 1-4 in Greensboro, N.C., at the Greensboro Aquatic Center. The Speedo Winter Junior National Championships will take place on the heels of the Toyota U.S. Open, with athletes competing December 8-11 in Greensboro, N.C., also at the Greensboro Aquatic Center, and Austin, Texas, at the Lee and Joe Jamail Texas Swimming Center.

TYDE swimmer sets NCS Record
Congratulations to Bodhi Cummins of the YMCA of Northwest North Carolina (TYDE) on setting a new NCS record in the Boys 10 & Under 50 breast at the YSST USRY Long Course Championships in Hickory this past weekend. Cummins set the new mark with a time of 38.20.
NCS Meet Sanction Requests
The North Carolina Swimming COVID-19 Relief Program, which extended payment terms for LSC meet assessments, allowed adding incremental meets without Meet Scheduling committee approval, and reduced the required lead time on submitting sanction requests, expired on March 31, 2021.
As we transition back to pre-COVID rules, the sanctions committee added a temporary exception to the rule (below in red), reducing the required lead time for sanction requests on certain meets from 60 to 30 days.
The lead time requirement on all sanction/approval requests for meets with start dates between Sept 1, 2021 and Dec 31, 2021 is now 30 days. Sanction requests include the meet announcement, order of events, and sanction fee. Sanction requests that are not received at least 30 days prior to the meet start date will be assessed late fees according to the published late fee schedule. Late fees for scheduled meets are $50 for intrasquad, dual, tri, quad and closed league meets and $200 for all others. Late fees for unscheduled meets are $100 for intrasquad and $300 for all others.
REMEMBER: Meets added to the schedule (other than intrasquad, dual, tri, or quad meets) must first be approved by the Meet Scheduling (formerly known as Technical Planning) committee. As noted above, sanction/approval requests for new meets added to the schedule must also be received at least 30 days prior to the meet start date to avoid the late fee.
NCS Champs Meets: Entry Procedures/Deadlines
Below is a summary of the entry procedures and deadlines for the North Carolina Swimming Age Group LC Championship meet at the Triangle Aquatic Center in Cary on July 15-18 and the North Carolina Swimming Senior Age Group LC Championship at the Fort Mill YMCA Aquatic Center in Fort Mill, SC on July 22-25.
