NCSA - Nose Creek Swim Association

NCSA is our competitive swim program. The program is generally for intermediate to expert swimmers ages 7 to 18.

All four competitive swim strokes, proper finishes, dives and turns are taught in this program by certified  CSCTA coaches and  NCCP level 1 - 3 coaches.  Our season starts in September and ends in June or July dependent on each swimmer's meet schedule. Our swimmers start to train three times a week in our first level and up to 9 times a week in our performance squad.

NCSA stands out from other competitive swim programs in that we are one of the few teams to follow the Long Term Athlete Develop Model promoted by Swim Canada. Swimmers that are trained too often too young do so at a cost to their future as a swimmer. We are aware that increased workouts and intensity does increase short-term performance, however as the body adapts to the number of workouts, should this happen too early in a swimmer's career, the result too often is in injuries or plateaus. Overtraining is the number one reason swimmers quit. NCSA focuses on fundamentals and technique while building in the training aspect as the swimmers mature.
