Low coach-to-swimmer ratio.
Swimmers will learn not only how but why
they are doing what they’re doing in the water.
Improve all four strokes, starts, turns
and finishes.
It’s a great way to
transition into your summer swimming.
Each swimmer
will go through a detailed stroke program including all four
strokes, starts, turns, finishes and relay work. Swimmers will
also be introduced to mental training and visualization
drills. High School and advanced swimmers will also do some
endurance training. Coaches will utilize video & training
equipment throughout the clinic.
Complete details and information can be
found HERE.
See you at the Banquet!
Snow Day Info
- When school is canceled due to weather, there is no
practice. Also, if
Newington P&R cancels their evening activities NSC
does not have practice. There are a number of ways to get
cancelation information - TV, radio, internet, and the
Newington P&R cancellation hotline 860-665-8686.
As soon as any
info is available it will be emailed to you and also posted to
the website. Please try to get this information before calling
Mark or any of the other coaches. Just imagine getting 100
calls during the day!

Coach's
Email - The coaches can also be reached via email. Their
email address is available under the Contact Info section to
the left of the page.
Comments
- The Board of Directors has created a new mailbox
for your input. This address is for general
communications with the Board of Directors. It is not
for communicating directly with the coaches. If you have
any comments, criticism or accolades, please feel free to let
us know at comments@newingtonswimming.com
Locker Room Reminder - Do not leave anything
in the locker rooms during meets or practices unless it is
locked in a locker. One of our swimmers had a
cell phone stolen from their bag during practice.
The locker rooms are public spaces, used by a variety of
people, and are not monitored.
Swimbag checklist - Some parents
have been asking the coaches what the swimmers should bring to
a meet. Coach Kaitlyn took the time to write up
this Swim Bag
Checklist. Thanks, Coach Kaitlyn!!

NSC
Nutrition - A
nutrition tip sheet is available here . Please read it over and follow our
advice. Swimmers will not be allowed to eat any candy, chips,
cookies, fast foods, sugary drinks, etc. during the meet.
This is toxic for athletes.
Swimmers who need
to leave practice early must give a note to a coach signed by a
parent. This policy has not been followed. Starting on Monday,
October 25th coaches will not allow swimmers to leave early without
a note.
Unless they are volunteering, parents are
not allowed on the pool deck at anytime for any reason during
practices or meets. This is due to our insurance policy.
