Message from Randy LaRocca, Zone Coordinator

Soon the championship season will be upon us. Congratulations to both parents and swimmers for a wonderful season! The culmination of the Age Group long course season is the Eastern Zone Age Group Championship. Swimmers who qualify for this time standard meet, represent Connecticut Swimming in one of the most competitive swim meets of the entire long course season for age group swimmers. The Eastern Zone Championships will be held at Penn State University, State College, PA.  Competition starts on August 12th and ends on the 15th.  The Zone Team athletes 11 years old and older travel as a team to this meet, stay in a hotel together, eat together and cheer together all as one team.  The Team travels on August 11 (Tuesday), and return on August 16 (Sunday)   NOTE 10 AND UNDER SWIMMERS TRAVEL WITH THEIR FAMILY - MORE INFO COMING SHORTLY.   It takes many volunteers to organize a zone team and the team chaperones are a vital part of the team.

In the past, we have had to shortage of parent chaperones especially in the older age group (13 to 18 year old). We are sending out this appeal well in advance to let everyone know that the team travel portion of this team is in jeopardy if we cannot secure parent chaperones. Safety is paramount so please step up and volunteer to be a CHAPERONE. Please contact me with any questions and come see us at the ZONE TABLES at Age Group Championships.
