NCS Officials Spring Splash Workshop

by

April 13, 2024 – Greensboro Aquatic Center

Thank you to all the Officials who attended our NCS Spring Splash Workshop. Special Thanks to Rob Stevens, NCS Officials Chair, along with Anne Marie Schneider and Colleen Gillan for leading the various clinics offered. We had several officials clinics that took place from deck training certifications, to starter clinic, and official certifications. We are a sport that is volunteer dependent, always seeking others to get involved and get that front row seat watching your child swim. After a one day workshop we had 14 new Officials advancing their knowledge in making our sport better. #NCSOfficiallyAwesome #NCSWorksBetter2Gether # WEARENCS

Here is the bid packet for submitting meet bids for the 2024-25 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 2024-25 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:
