August 2, 2022 by Bill Martin

The 2022 North Carolina Swimming All Star Awards Banquet will be held at the McKimmon Center in Raleigh on Saturday, October 1, 2022. The event will feature special guest speaker Cody Miller. A longtime leader of Team USA, Miller won Gold and Bronze Medals at the 2016 Rio Olympics and is part of numerous American records.

The NCS ALL STAR clinic, exclusively for those on the NCS ALL STAR list, will be conducted by Cody Miller at the Triangle Aquatic Center beginning at 1:30 pm on Saturday, October 1. Clinic registration and details will be emailed to those on the ALL STAR list along with banquet registration during the first week of September. A meet & greet/autograph session with Miller for everyone attending the banquet is scheduled that Saturday afternoon at 4:30, with the banquet beginning at 5:30 pm.

Early Awards Banquet registration for swimmers on the NCS ALL STAR list and their family members will open the first week of September, after the ALL STAR list has been finalized. A registration form will be emailed to those on the ALL STAR list. General registration for all others will open the following week. The facility has a seating capacity of 300 people, so registration will be on a first come – first served basis, and will be closed to everyone when that number is reached.

NCS ALL STAR swimmers and NCS TOP FIVE swimmers in attendance will be recognized at the Awards Banquet. Awards Banquet tickets for those on the ALL STAR list are complimentary.  The ticket price for all others, including coaches, officials, parents, family members, and all other swimmers is $30.
