  • What’s happening on Saturday?? Indiana Swimming’s Annual House of Delegates Meeting is at North Central High School. While this is originally designed as the annual registration process for clubs (geared for board members & coaches) it has grown in to a collection of educational opportunities as well for all involved in the sport. For our athletes, Saturday features a Swim Clinic with 2008 Olympian Katie Ziegler from 9AM to 1PM. This clinic is a great idea for all of our swimmers age 10 to 14 with at least a season of experience.  Check-in begins at 8:30AM and the clinic is FREE- however limited to the first 125 swimmers!!
    • Additionally, there are some classes geared for parent volunteers at swim meets. Interested in learning how to work the computer timing system?? There’s a clinic for that! Already know the timing system, but want to learn all the short cuts and inside tips?? There is a class for that as well!  Finally, there are also classes for officials and announcers.
