2021 Open Water Zones: Application Form

February 24, 2021 by Bill Martin

Dear Coaches, Swimmers, and Parents,

At this time we are planning on attending Open Water Zones in Chattanooga, TN on 6/4/2021 – 6/6/2021.  I have heard from the host team, and they are in the preliminary planning.  I have committed NC Swimming to going.

This year, we will be doing an application process, instead of using any meets.  The link for the application is below.

OPEN WATER ZONE TEAM APPLICATION FORM

Applications will close on Monday March 1st, 8:00AM. 

We are asking for the 1650, 1000, and 500 times.  We realize with the limited amount of swims everyone is allowed this year, that not everyone will have the opportunity to swim those events. Please just fill in the times that you have.  The Open Water Selection Committee will take a look at the times, along with the Open Water experience and choose the team of 32.  There will be four(4) 11-12 girls, four(4) 11-12 boys, four(4) 13-14 girls, four(4) 13-14 boys, four(4) 15-16 girls, four(4) 15-16 boys, four(4) open girls, and four(4) open boys.

The selection committee consists of John Payne, Jonathan Bescher, JP Merchant. Amy Faulk, and David McDevitt.

 It will not be a team travel trip.  The parents/swimmers will be responsible getting to Chattanooga, and to the lake.  They will be responsible for making and paying for hotel arrangements, along with their own food. NC Swimming will be sending 3 coaches and 1 Official to the meet.  The coaches will be Head Coach Brett Ciancanelli, Assistant Coach/Manager Jonathan Bescher, Assistant Coach Blake Addison, and Official Leigh Ciancanelli.  All costs associated with the trip will be the responsibility of the Parent/Guardians of the swimmer.

There will be a timeline so the swimmers know when to show up. We will be working on getting a block of hotel rooms that is near the lake. This will alow the swimmers to decide on how they want to travel to the meet.  If some swimmers wanted to room together, that would not be on NC Swimming, that would be purely up to the families involved.

There will be a slight cost for the meet to cover the registration fee for the meet.

We are now sponsored by Speedo.

If you have any questions, please email me at coachbesch@newwaveswimteam.org

Thanks,

jon

NCS introduces new logo

February 18, 2021 by Bill Martin

From the ocean to the mountains, we swim under the beautiful starry blue skies of the North Carolina Swimming LSC. That sums up the inspiration that led to the design of NCS’s new logo launched today at the LSC’s Senior Championships meet. The new logo reflects the LSC’s geographic diversity with the pool uniting our 10,000 swimmers, coaches, officials, and volunteers across the state. The star is a link to the North Carolina flag as well as to USA Swimming. Look for the new NCS logo wherever you swim.

2021 NCS IMX Camp

January 25, 2021 by Bill Martin

Thank you to all the athletes who participated in the 2021 NCS IMX Camp.  We are thankful we had a successful Camp. All of our coaches thoroughly enjoyed working with the athletes, and look forward to seeing you on deck in the future.

Hope you enjoy this highlight video from our successful 2021 NCS IMX Camp held at the Greensboro Aquatic Center, Saturday January 23, 2021. 

A special “Thank You” to our surprise guest clinician, Coleman Stewart. Stewart is a 22-time All-American,  former NC State swimmer, current Pro swimmer at Wolfpack Elite, also swims for the ISL Cali Condors. In his senior year at NCSU, Coleman posted a nation-leading time of 44.04 in the 100 yd back. He also swept the backstroke titles at the ACC Championships for the third year in-a-row.  Coleman’s specialty events include 100 back, 100 fly, and dabbles in some sprint free when needed.  He is known for his underwater kicks, backstroke starts, and racing starts from the blocks. Coleman arrived in the afternoon to work with the 12 & 13 year olds on technique tips and tricks for starts, underwater work, and turns. The athletes and coaches enjoyed learning and working alongside Coleman. We appreciate his surprise appearance and willingness to help our NCS athletes be the best they can be while learning from the best at Camp.

NCS IMX Camp Selections

January 5, 2021 by Bill Martin

IMX Swimmers & Parents,

First off congratulations to those on the list below who have been selected to attend the 2021 IMX Camp at the Greensboro Aquatic Center on Saturday, January 23rd!  We hope that all of you have had a good first half of the season and will be able to participate.

2021 NCS IMX Camp Selections

If you name is on the above list, please submit the online release form prior to attending the camp.

2021 NCS IMX Camp Release Form

As we have all been dealing with the COVID virus for almost a year now, we want you to know that making sure that we provide a safe environment for our swimmers and coaches during the camp will be one of our main focuses.  Of course the swimmers having a good time and learning some things that they can take home with them will also be a priority as always as well.

With that being said I wanted to let you know they procedures we plan to have in place to help make sure that we have a safe atmosphere for all.

  1. We will be operating in groups of 20 swimmers or less and in spaces that allow us to maintain social distancing.  Having the swimmers being aware of staying spaced out will help with this.  In the pool there will be no more than 4 swimmer per lane.
  2. We will be temperature checking swimmers & staff at check-in as they arrive.
  3. Swimmers should all bring their own water bottle labeled with their name on it.
  4. Everyone at the camp will be expected to wear a mask throughout the camp when they are not in the pool.
  5. Hand sanitizer will be available throughout the facility so swimmers & coaches can keep hands free throughout the camp.
  6. Locker room use will be limited during changing to avoid overcrowding.  We are working on using multiple locker rooms to help accommodate the transitions.

We are still working on the detailed schedule for the camp but below are the tentative pickup and drop off times for each group so that you can plan accordingly.

10 & 11 Year Olds:

Arrival & Check-in – 8:15-8:30

Pickup – 12:30

12 & 13 Year Olds:

Arrival & Check-in – 1:30-1:45

Pickup – 5:45

Please feel free to give me a call with any questions and watch for more details leading up to the camp.

Happy New Year!
