Here is the bid packet for submitting meet bids for the 2023-24 short course season. It includes both the Meet Bid Framework and the Meet Bid Form.

Meet Bid Framework

The meet bid framework provides dates of notable meets, including sectional and national events, and indicates closed weekends during the 2023-24 short course season.

Meet Bid Form

The meet bid form is the method for submitting your meet bids to the meet scheduling committee. Simply complete and submit a form for each of your club’s meet bids.  Please note the closed weekends when submitting bids.

Completing the Meet Bid Form

The meet bid form allows the Meet Scheduling committee to gather and provide clubs with complete and consistent meet information. The form is divided into three sections:

1.      Basic Meet Information (dates, host club, meet name, location, etc.)

2.      Meet Type (meet type, course type, meet category, age group)

3.      Meet Fees (individual fees, relay fees, facility fees, travel fund, parking, other)

Click the link to the Meet Bid Form to get started. After completing all required fields (identified by an asterisk) in a section, click NEXT. After completing the entire form, click SUBMIT.  You will be asked if you want to submit another response.  If you do, click “submit another response” and repeat the process for your next meet.

Meet bids submitted will automatically populate the2023-24 Short Course Bid Schedule posted on the NCS website. Here, you can view what you’ve submitted. (The spreadsheet does not automatically sort by date, so the most recently submitted bids will appear at the bottom but will be sorted periodically as bids come in.)

Meet Bid Deadline: 4/15/23

Schedule Planning Meeting: 4/16/23

Congratulations to the North Carolina Swimming Zone Team on winning the 2022 Southern Zone Age Group Championships held at the Tupelo Aquatic Center in Tupelo, MS on July 26- July 30, 2022.  This is the third win in a row for the NCS Team! NCS won in 2019, 2021, and 2022 (the meet was not held because of COVID in 2020). The North Carolina Squad scored 1206.5 points, easily outscoring second place Georgia team’s 820 points and third place Florida Swimming with 640.5. It was a dominating performance with all age groups contributing fast swims. Santi Alzate received the High Point award for 13-14 boys and there were many other incredible individual performances. See the Meet Results below for a summary of the results for NCS Zone Team athletes.

Thanks to head coach Jonathan Watson, team manager Amy Faulk, and the entire coaching staff and chaperones for their hard work and preparation! And thank you to all the members of the 2022 NCS Zone team for making this another successful and memorable zone trip and another outstanding meet!
