‘CATCH THE SPIRIT’ CAMP
Sunday April 27, 2014
USA Swimming Catch the Spirit Camp is to provide an educational experience for the swimmers in Sierra Nevada Swimming and build a stronger foundation for our Athletes and the LSC. This will be done through opportunity, observation, communication and motivation from the selected Coaching Staff (as instructed from USA Swimming.) Catch the Spirit Camp will provide a carefully orchestrated program provided from USA Swimming with Video, Water instruction, and Class room instruction. This experience will develop self – image, encourage unity in SNS and broaden their knowledge of the History of swimming.
Eligibility
To be eligible for selection to the SNS Catch the Spirit Camp, a swimmer must be registered to SNS in good standing. This means that the swimmer must not owe money to SNS, and must not have been restricted from representing SNS because of past disciplinary problems. Swimmers, who owe money to SNS, may clear the debt and be considered for the Catch the Spirit Camp by paying the money owed before the end of the qualifying period.
Qualifying
Selection will be based on verified short-course performances achieved during the qualifying period in individual events swum in the current season. Swims performed outside the LSC must be posted on the Swim Connection website prior to Tuesday March 31st, 2014 following any USA Sanctioned Swim Meets in order to be considered. The qualifying period is from August 1, 2013 to April 2nd, 2014.
Participation on the SNS Catch the Spirit Camp is based on the swimmer’s age on the first day of the Camp. If the swimmer will be in an older age group at the Camp than when they swam the qualifying scores, they will be considered for the Catch the Spirit Camp in the older age group.
Selection Process
Catch the Spirit Camp selection is based on swimmers’ seasonal score from High Point scores for Short Course rather than swimmers’ ranking or times like the process used for Sierra Nevada teams or OTC selections. Swimmers will be selected by single age group.
Highest Points Scores for the first
· Five 9 year old Girls & Five 9 year old Boys
· Five 10 year old Girls & Five 10 year old Boys
· Five 11 year old Girls & Five 11 year old Boys
· Five 12 year old Girls & Five 12 year old Boys
Priority will go to campers that did not attend the camp in 2013. If space is available then we will select swimmers that attended in 2013.
The Campers will be announced by April 13th, 2014 on the SNS Website.
