It is with Great sadness that I inform you that we lost a member of our NCS family, from accomplished swimmer as a youngster in the Winston Salem area, a respected Coach of several NCS Clubs and NCS Zone teams, Coach Alex Black passed away Wednesday, November 22, 2023 after a hard fought six and half years of colon cancer. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Betty, his son Joel, and the entire Black family during this time of loss.
