These three North Carolina Swimming officials ventured north to the USA Swimming Futures meet in Fargo, North Dakota this week. Pictured from left to right are Dana Greene, Todd Webber, and Mike Trexler.

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!

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.

Please join us for the June 2021 U.S. Paralympics Swimming VIRTUAL clinics! 

Do you have a para-swimmer in your program or know one in your area?  Want to be a part of connecting para-swimmers to the U.S. Paralympics Swimming pipeline?  Develop and grow your coaching skills on how to take what you already know from a standard bio mechanical stroke pattern and adapt it well for a para swimmer?  Both of these clinics will provide a great opportunity to learn more about the sport and swimmers with disabilities. 

As a consultant for U.S. Paralympics Swimming and a coach with Team USA’s Paralympics Swimming team at three Paralympic Games, I look forward to sharing information on how para swimmers and coaches can connect and move forward in our sport.

Below are the flyers with registration links for the June FREE VIRTUAL clinics: 

• A Foundations 1 Introduction, U.S. Paralympics Swimming is scheduled on Sunday, June 27 , 2021 at 8:00pm EDT.
• Coaching a Para-Swimmer is scheduled on Tuesday, June 29, 2021 at 11:30am EDT.

More details for each clinic can be found on the attached flyers.  Registration is through the Signup Genius link for each clinic in the flyer and is required to attend.  The clinics will be presented via Zoom.   To obtain the link to the Zoom session, please be sure to register with a valid email address.

Peace,

North Carolina Swimming was one of nineteen Local Swimming Committees (LSCs) that were awarded LSC Select Camp Grants from USA Swimming. NCS will receive the $3500 grant thanks to the efforts of NCS camps committee chair, Jonathan Watson. In a continued effort to provide resources for more locally driven efforts, these grants allow age-group athletes an increased opportunity to attend a camp while not requiring them to travel too far from home.

Thanks for making it happen, Jonathan!
