Treasurer’s folder in the Family Folder Bin by February 10th.
More details can be found here.
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!
Here are some links:
Newington Parks and Rec - you can also call the cancelation hotline at 860-665-8686

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.
