Swimposium by Connecticut Swimming Brings Key Speakers, Big Audience, Including New USA Swimming CEO

The Connecticut Swimming Swimposium came about final week with an all-female lineup of audio system.

It was a two-day in-person occasion that included separate studying tracks for officers, athletes and coaches in addition to Board and House of Delegates conferences.

“This was our first large scale in-person meeting since COVID and I couldn’t have been happier with the level of attendance and the energy the meeting generated. It was a perfect way to kick off our 25-26 Short Course season,” Connecticut Swimming General Chair Jeff Sargent mentioned. “All the presenters struck simply the precise tone, specializing in being nicely ready, working as a crew and bouncing again from disappointment.

“The Swimposium set our LSC up for great success in the coming season.”

The multi-day occasion was organized and run by a number of feminine members of the board:

Board Leadership:

• Officials Track – Margy Sargent – Co-Chair Officials
• Athletes Track – Carlone Ward – Senior Athlete Rep and
• Caroline Gies – Junior Athlete Rep
• Coaches Track – Kristen Finnegan – Coach at Large and USA Swimming Women in Governance

Guest Speakers:

• Dana Covington, National Officials Committee – Chair
• Lisa Vetterlein, Paris Olympics and 2025 Singapore WC Starter
• Alexis Keto, Bolles School

It was so successful that new USA Swimming CEO Kevin Ring made an look, however in a non-official capability.

“The incoming USA Swimming and USA Swimming Foundation CEO did join us for our social hour before the officials track. He was not on the session agenda and was keen to observe, respect our meeting timeline and not draw attention away from the speakers or learning session,” coach Greg Pinchbeck mentioned.
