NORTHERN COLORADO SWIMMING
Welcome
The Mission of Northern Colorado Swimming is to offer quality competition and developmental programs for teams and swimmers for the betterment of the individual swimmer and the sport of swimming.
Northern Colorado Swimming was formed in the summer of 1965 under
the direction of Dick Hewson from Loveland Swim Club. At that time,
the teams involved were Loveland Swim Club, Greeley Swim Club, Eaton
Swim Club, Tideriders of Fort Collins and Longmont Swim Club. The
only championship competition held was the Summer Northern Colorado
Districts. In the last 24 years NCS has seen many changes involving
a multitude of coaches and swimmers. Many former swimmers have now
returned to be our coaches and swim parents of today.
Currently, the
organization consists of twelve teams reaching north to Fort Collins,
east to Ft. Morgan, west to Estes Park, and south to Brighton.We have
three major district championship meets: WINTER DISTRICTS in late
winter or early spring. SILVER DISTRICTS early July, and GOLD DISTRICTS
usually the third weekend in July. We also offer two levels of developmental
meets: 8 & UNDER meets are held two to three times per season
and SILVER CIRCUITS are held once monthly during the winter and weekly
in June and July.
An NCS All Star Team was organized in January 1999
for the top swimmers who are fourteen years old and younger.
Any team
within Northern Colorado is welcome to join NCS.
NCS PAST & PRESENT
NCS MISSION
NCS is also proud to support their swimmers through financial assistance programs. Each summer two graduating seniors are awarded a $300.00 scholarship in memory of Alicia Johnston, a coach from Greeley. Any graduating senior who has competed in the district for the past two years is welcome to apply. NCS also assists their Western Zone, Junior National, and Senior National swimmers through a travel fund which is supported by the District swim meets.
