Scholastic All-America Recognition
Applications for USA Swimming's Scholastic All-America Teams are now available. The Scholastic All-America Team is comprised of high school student-athletes, who have a grade point average of 3.50 or higher, and have achieved a specific time standard in an individual event during the qualifying period. They must have completed 10th, 11th, or 12th grade and be a USA Swimming member athlete. For further requirements, information and deadlines, please reference the applications forms.

Three certificates will be awarded to each individual achievingUSA Swimming Scholastic All-America status (one for the athlete, one for the school and one for the USA Swimming club). A special pin will be awarded to individuals earning a 4.00 grade point average. A special award will be issued to individuals named to the team three times.

Applications for and Allegheny Mountain Swimming's Scholastic All-American recognition are also available. DEADLINE for both applications is August 1, 2010.
LONG COURSE SEASON
We've gotten several questions from newer swim families about "What is meant by Long Course swimming"?

The answer is that Long Course for ANSC means the season of swim meets beginning in April and running to potentially early August, depending on qualification for higher level meets (e.g., Junior Olympics, Sectionals, Zones).

These meets are generally held in 50 meter pools, meaning a fewer number of turns for the swimmers. These meets are also, for ANSC purposes, generally held outdoors with the exception of a few venues (Univ. Pitt, Chartiers Valley, Cleveland State). Swimming outdoors holds it's own set of challenges -- meaning that swimmers and parents should be prepared for a wide range of potential weather conditions ranging from snow, sleet, rain, wind, and days with enough sunshine to result in severe sunburn!

There are also some meets which ANSC may compete in during Long Course season which are held in either 25 yard or 25 meter facilities.
Treats (Allergy Awareness)
We thank everyone who brings in treats to celebrate their birthdays, however, for future celebrations, please refrain from bringing anything that contains peanuts and especially peanut butter as we have at least one swimmer allergic to them.
Thank you.
