Swimming NSW Youth Advisory Panel and Lane Ropes To Leadership Program
One of our club swimmers (and Club Vice Captain) Kayla Bentley has been involved in the Swimming NSW lane Ropes To Leadership and Youth Advisory Panel projects, co-ordinated by Sarah Koen (Sport Development and Participation Manager at Swimming NSW), since 2016. The next stage of the projects is to finalise footage for the Swimming NSW digital story (for Sport and Rec funding), and to divide into two groups (working parties) to start developing two new separate projects soon to be announced.
The group next meet on 2nd Thursday March at NSWIS, and have been asked to do some preparation in advance of the meeting as below:
Take some short (max 10 seconds) video snippets of your club and training environment. It might be everyone diving off the blocks; stretching or warming up; laps/tumble turns; listening to the coach; the coach giving instructions to swimmers in or out of the water; high fiving each other; group hugs; people laughing and smiling; chatting to technical officials etc. Just typical day to day stuff. Include mainly teenagers, as the end digital story is for promotion to teenagers. It doesn't need any voice over or sound necessarily, it's just so that we have some good footage to put into the background of the final digital story. They don't need to pose, in fact, it's better if they just act normal.
So if you see Kayla taking video, act natural, it will be great to have our NACSC swimmers involved in the promotion of the sport of swimming!
Thanks everyone, and well done Kayla!
Metro South West Swimming (MSWS) committee nomination form

Congratulations to NACSC Vice Captain Kayla Bentley for being accepted into the Lane Ropes to Leadership Program through Swimming NSW!
The goal of Lane Ropes to Leadership is to select up to 24 swimmers aged 13-18 years to undertake the Youth Leadership Program, with the aim to select 10 swimmers to establish a Swimming NSW Youth Advisory Panel (YAP). The role of this panel will be to discuss current issues related to swimming, and to develop ideas on how to improve the current state of swimming in NSW. The Swimming NSW Board and staff are committed to implementing the best ideas generated by this panel, so Kayla will have a real chance to represent young swimmers and make a difference.
Announcement of Club Captains!
Voting was held at Club Night on June 3rd - Congratulations to our Club Captains:

SPONSORSHIP ANNOUNCEMENT!
NACSC are extremely excited to announce that we now have a
major Athlete Development Sponsor on board – Western
Suburbs Concrete!
Sponsorship Will Facilitate:
· Further development of the competitive skills of the current group of athletes by allowing them the opportunity of experiencing instruction in areas such as nutrition, sports massage, physiotherapy, sports psychology and bio-technology plus exposure to higher levels of competition.
· Sending athletes to attend training camps and be a part of touring teams (and therefore greatly benefit from this competition training exposure).
· Lessening the costs to the individual athlete and the club for airfares, accommodation, bus hire and presentations and other activities so as not to burden fundraising resources.
Huge congratulations to Head Coach Jackie Barck for organising this sponsorship arrangement – go team!
The 2015 HANCOCK PROSPECTING SWIMMER OF THE YEAR AWARDS were held at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre on the evening of Saturday, 5th September 2015. The blue carpet was host to many internationally acclaimed athletes who had swapped their swimming costumes and fins for gowns, bow ties and high heels. Walking tall amongst them was our very own founding member, John Rohloff, who was the recipient of the prestigious Roger Smith Technical Official of the Year award.
Congratulations John, the executive and members of the Nepean Aquatic Centre Swim Club are extremely proud of your achievement and we hope that you enjoyed your evening of fame. We look forward to seeing you soon to congratulate you in person.
