The NCS “A-TEAM” Swim Camp, targeting swimmers ages 11-14 whose long course times in 2021 ranked them highest among swimmers achieving “A” time standards, will be held at the Triangle Sportsplex in Hillsborough, NC on November 7, 2021. Check-in time for the camp is 8:45 am. The camp will run from 9:15 am – 4:30 pm.
Athletes selected were those who ranked highest during the long course season in the 100m Fly, 100m Back, or 100m Breast and who had not achieved a long course time faster than the National “A” time standard.
Swimmers on the list below are invited to the first-ever “A-TEAM” Swim Camp. Coaches will focus the water sessions on butterfly, backstroke, and breaststroke and each will feature older athletes who have demonstrated excellence in the particular stroke highlighted. Athletes on the list should register on the NCS website no later than October 1, 2021. The “A TEAM” camp fee is $60 for the one-day camp and the PayPal link can be found on the application form.
Complete camp details will be sent out about 14 days prior to the camp.
If your name is on the A-Team Camp Selections list above and you would like to attend, please complete and submit the form below by October 1, 2021.
Below is the list of North Carolina Swimming athletes who achieved NCS All Star status during the period beginning on Sept 1, 2020 and ending on Aug 31, 2021 (athletes are listed by club code). The colored bars next to each swimmer’s name indicate how the athlete achieved All Star status and whether All Star status was achieved in multiple ways.
Those achieving All Star status will receive an All Star towel. Towels will be sent to the swimmers’ clubs for distribution
The NCS All Star list includes swimmers who achieved All Star Status in at least one of five ways.
Below is the list of North Carolina Swimming athletes who finished with a Top Five time in one or more short course or long course event during the period beginning on Sept 1, 2020 and ending on August 31, 2021 (athletes are listed by club code). Top Fives are listed by age group – 10U, 11-12, 13-14, 15-16, and 17-18. The colored bars next to the names indicate whether a Top Five time was achieved during short course (red bar) or long course (blue bar)…or both.
Those achieving Top Five status will receive Top Five swim caps. Caps will be sent to the swimmers’ clubs for distribution.
Top Five age group rankings should not be confused with the NCS Top Ten rankings, which are listed by individual age. Top Five achievement also has nothing to do with order of finish at NCS championship meets, but are based on age group rankings at the end of the qualifying period…which this year was August 31, 2021.
Here are clinics and sign-up links for the series of Virtual Clinics being held in mid-September. This list is also available on the Clinic Schedule subtab under the Officials tab on the NCS website.
