Officials Re-certifications

January 28, 2013 by Bill Martin

NCS Officials:

By the end of this year all NCS officials wanting to stay current as a USAS/NCS official, must take a re-certifying test at their highest current level.  A couple of FYIs:  If an official starts the re-certification test before April 15th, 2013, they must “complete” the test before April 15th, 2013.  That re-certification test will be using questions based on the 2012 USAS rulebook. Between April 16th-30th, 2013, USAS will be shutting down the “testing” section of the website and they will be updating all the tests to be current with the 2013 USAS rulebook.  On May 1st, 2013, the “testing” section will re-open, and all tests will be using the 2013 USAS rulebook.  Officials will have until 12-31-2013 to “complete” their re-certification tests.  Those that have not completed their test will fall under the new NCS policy for “Re-certification.”
Thanks again,
Chris Kitchens

USA Swimming announces official bids to host 2016 Olympic Trials

January 14, 2013 by Bill Martin

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – USA Swimming, in collaboration with the United States Olympic Committee, today announced the cities that have submitted official bids to host the 2016 Olympic Team Trials – Swimming. A total of six cities will be reviewed as the potential site for the biggest swimming event in the country that will select the 2016 U.S. Olympic Swim Team.

The cities in contention are:

•    Greensboro, N.C.

•    Indianapolis, Ind.

•    Jacksonville, Fla.

•    Omaha, Neb.

•    St. Louis, Mo.

•    San Antonio, Texas

USA Swimming is coming off a year in which it saw its most successful Trials event in history. The 2012 Olympic Swim Trials, held in Omaha, Neb., saw over 164,000 fans in attendance and the eight-days of competition were broadcast LIVE on NBC television every night.

The bid city evaluation period will run through the end of April and will include site visits to select finalist locations. An internal evaluation team from USA Swimming, along with an outside member of the USA Swimming board, will visit each location and select finalists from the group. In addition to reviewing the bids and making site visits, this team will ask follow-up questions of each city and evaluate all information and responses before ultimately making a recommendation to USA Swimming Executive Director Chuck Wielgus, the USA Swimming Board of Directors and the USOC.

“We are thrilled to begin this process and are excited to see what these cities have to offer,” said Mike Unger, USA Swimming Assistant Executive Director. “The Olympic Trials is the marquee swimming event in the U.S. and has grown into an amazing sports event. We are truly excited to continue to enhance the event and make it even more spectacular in 2016.”

Since 2004, USA Swimming has consistently expanded the reach of the Olympic Swim Trials. Attendance numbers have soared and the Aqua Zone, a fan and sponsor experience area, has grown to bring swimming to a wider audience.

The 2004 Olympic Trials in Long Beach, Calif., marked the first time the Olympic Trials were held in an outdoor venue with temporary pools. In 2008 and 2012, the Trials moved to Omaha, Neb., where two temporary pools were built inside the CenturyLink Center Omaha.

Of the bid cities, only two have previously hosted the event – Indianapolis and Omaha. Indianapolis hosted Trials in 1952 (women only), 1984, 1992, 1996 and 2000, while Omaha played host to the event in 2008 and 2012.

A formal selection announcement is expected to be made following the USA Swimming Board Meeting at the end of April.
