It is our great pleasure to announce that the hiring committee, after a rigorous interview process, has selected Amy Faulk to be our LSC’s next Executive Director. As you know, Amy is a board member and long-time LSC volunteer extraordinaire. She will bring to her new position the same passion and commitment she shows for North Carolina Swimming every day, not to mention her extensive experience with so many NCS activities. Please join me in congratulating Amy! She will begin a month long transition with Bill Martin beginning April 1.

Attached are the NCS Top Five Times from Sept 1, 2022- March 23, 2023 by age group. At some point USA Swimming will introduce a new reporting system. Until then, the process of running these reports is very cumbersome and time-consuming and will not be updated as often as in the past. Top Ten reports by individual age will be added after the new reporting system is introduced.
Swimmers and parents can also access the USA Swimming Event Rank/Top Times report that shows all athletes and their rankings based on the selected criteria. Choose from the competition year or between two dates. Select from distance, course and stroke, an age range, a standard, a club, an LSC and more, to see where your swimmer ranks. Note: You must click “Advanced Search” to search by LSC.

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.
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.
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 Calendar Approved: 4/16/23 Planning Meeting
