6:00 – 7:30 PM

Please join us in celebrating a great swim season! The whole family is invited.

• Enjoy Ice Cream Sundaes

We’ll conclude with open swim in the pool, so bring your suit.  Parents, you are responsible for supervising your children while swimming.

This will also be your last chance to look through the lost and found.  Everything left over will be donated.

Thursday night the Varsity Teams are having a special meet.  They’ve never done this type of event before.

It’s the Boys vs Girls Varsity Showdown.

The meet starts at 6:30 PM and is FREE!

The events will be a sprint style meet, so they’ll be fast and we expect the whole meet to be done in about an hour and a half.

This meet is an experiment and we’re working on a way to even out the playing field for the girls who are out of season and the boys who just started their tapers for their conference meet next week.

Varsity meets are a great way for your younger swimmer to see what can be accomplished at the High School level.

Several NCST Coaches and Alumni will be swimming.  

We hope this is a fun meet and maybe the start of a new tradition.  We’d love to see you there.  Did we mention it’s free?

Great Season!

Hope you and your family had a great season!  Thank you for all your help donating, volunteering and getting your swimmers to practice.  We truly appreciate it.

Here are the results from the A Meet.  There are some impressive time drops!

Here’s a note from Northview Community Ed about an upcoming clinic.

We have some very exciting news! We are proud to announce that we will be hosting a Fitter and Faster Butterfly and Breaststroke swim camp at Northview High School on April 18 & 19!

Our team can never get enough technique work on fly and breast. This is an excellent opportunity for our team to refine our technique and RACE FASTER!

Session sizes are limited. We cannot wait for this event and we strongly recommend everyone click the link below to read more about the curriculum and to register ASAP. We want all of our swimmers to learn from a three-time Olympian the techniques necessary to improve in these key parts of every race!

Prices will increase on February 27th!

CLICK HERE for details and registration

There will be two sessions each day, one for swimmers ages 11 and under and one for swimmers ages 12 and older. The curriculum each day will be:

April 18: Butterfly Technique

April 19: Breaststroke Technique

Sign up for one or SAVE by signing up for both days!

Each session will be led by Elite Clinician and three-time Olympian Glenn Snyders! Glenn is one of Fitter and Faster’s most popular and effective clinicians. We can’t wait for everyone to learn from him!

Championship A Meets are this weekend. Here we go!  It’s show time!  Let’s get down to the nitty-gritty.  Let’s get this show on the road!

Some notes about the Championship A Meet

1. The competition is going to be tough
2. The officials are more strict about proper stroke.
3. Athletes can participate in only 2 individual events.  And they can only compete in an event they have already competed in during this season (a seed time).
4. Each team can only have 1 relay per age bracket – so a few athletes will compete in a third event on the relays.
5. There is no admission fee.
6. Please remind your swimmer that the Warm Down pool is for warming down, this is not open swim time.  Don’t get worn out before the big event.
7. Remember that Saturday morning we will be starting at event #37.  Don’t be late thinking that your swimmer doesn’t swim until later.
