Eric Rzepecki Memorial Service

May 3, 2022 by Bill Martin

North Carolina Swimming is deeply saddened to report the death of Eric Rzepecki, aged 51, on April 23, 2022.  A graduate of and swimmer at Virginia Tech (and rabid fan) and an Exercise Physiologist, Eric was best known in NC Swimming and throughout the southeast as a “system guru” with Colorado Timing Systems – handling sales, repairs, training and operations.  Always willing to lend a hand, greeting you with his warm smile and dry sense of humor, he facilitated swimming at every level, quietly and calmly keeping meets running smoothly no matter the situation.  He shared his talents with SwimMac Carolina, Queens University, Huntersville Family Fitness, Dynamo Swim Club in Atlanta, Bahamas Swimming Federation, Olympic High School, and various other clubs and LSCs in the Southeast.  He is survived by his wife Kathie, swim & dive coach at Charlotte’s Olympic High School, and his son Jami, a junior at Yale University where he is a member of the Mens Swim Team and former swimmer at SwimMac. Eric will be sorely missed as a husband, father, co-worker and friend.

A service for Eric Jon Rzepecki will be held on Saturday, June 25, 2022 at 11:00 at Heritage Funeral Home located at 3700 Forest Lawn Drive, Matthews, NC 28104. Immediately following the prayer service, there will be a memorial service at the Heritage Funeral Home.  All friends and family are invited to a luncheon after the memorial service at Beverly Crest Club House, located at 7100 Hensey’s Way, Charlotte, NC 28270, for a celebration of Eric’s life.  

In lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to help Eric’s son, Jamison complete his college education at Yale. A savings account for educational and living expenses over the next year has been set up. There are three ways to donate. First, you can donate through Zelle and that account is specifically linked to the phone number 704-277-5990. A second method is through Venmo @Kathrin-Rzepecki. Finally, you can donate through a check made out to Kathie Rzepecki and mailed to 4030 Lundale Court, Charlotte, NC 28273. We thank you for your support through this time and look forward to celebrating Eric’s life with you.

NCS swimmer named to National Diversity Select Camp

May 3, 2022 by Bill Martin

Congratulations to Evan Prabhu (MSA) on being named to the USA Swimming National Diversity Select Camp. The camp will be held May 5-8 at the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo. 

The full list of athlete and coach participants may be found here. Forty-five different clubs from 24 states will be represented. Alumni of the program include Tokyo Olympians Simone Manuel and Torri Huske. 

“The National Diversity Select Camp is an amazing opportunity for swimmers from diverse backgrounds to receive elite-level support, opportunity and exposure within the sport of swimming,” USA Swimming Diversity Equity and Inclusion Program Director Leland Brown III said. “For many who attend, this is the first time they have the opportunity to compete and connect with swimmers, coaches and USA Swimming staff who look like them, which is such an important experience and opportunity for these athletes.”  

An athlete at last year’s camp noted, “NDSC helped me realize that the sport of swimming is diverse even if I may not see it. It helped me realize that I have a community here too.”   

The purpose of the camp is to instill a vision of success and inspire athletes from ethnically under-represented populations to become leaders in the sport of swimming. Some of USA Swimming’s most diverse talent is brought to the camp for an extended weekend of pool training, leadership development, team-building activities and learning. Athletes’ personal coaches are encouraged to attend the camp as well. 

The goal of USA Swimming’s National Diversity Select Camp is to: 
• Demonstrate the viability of multicultural success in swimming 
• Achieve performance excellence at every level of the sport 
• Expound on the benefits and value of participating in the sport of swimming 
• Be positive leaders and role models that others from multicultural backgrounds can emulate. 

Originally created in the 1990s as an Outreach Camp, the National Diversity Select Camp was renamed in 2006. The camp hosts swimmers between the ages of 14 and 16 and selection is based on times swum at USA Swimming sanctioned events. Each athlete selected for the camp will receive complimentary room and board at the Olympic and Paralympic Training Center, ground transportation and full airfare to Colorado Springs.
