You are cordially invited to the annual Connecticut Swimming Awards Banquet in recognition of your outstanding performance during the 2007-2008 season. 
The banquet will take place on Sunday, November 2, 2008.

We are extremely pleased to announce that this year’s banquet will once again be held at the Aqua Turf Club in Plantsville, CT. Registration is scheduled from 1:00 to 1:30 p.m.  The banquet will begin promptly after registration.

Invitations have been mailed to the following swimmers (Awards will be presented ONLY to those swimmers in attendance):

·        Connecticut Scholar Athletes

Additionally, all coaches and board members/committee chairs are invited. All reservations, jacket orders and payments will be made on the Connecticut Swimming website. Seating charts will be posted on the Connecticut Swimming website approximately one week before the banquet. All seating assignments will be made based upon the club designated on your reservation.

Selection Criteria:  Invitations are extended to Scholar-Athletes and athletes achieving Connecticut Top 16 times. These times are compiled from all meets during the 2007-2008 short course season and 2008 long course season, in an individual event within the following age groups: 10/U, 11/12, 13/14, 15/16, 17/18 and Senior.  This includes the Open Water Championship mile swim for 11/O athletes.  (Invitations are not based upon place finish at a championship meet nor the Open Water Mini-Mile.)

Additional Guests: In anticipation of a large number of swimmers attending, guests other than the swimmer’s parent(s) may have to be limited.   However, reservations for additional guests should be made since the Aqua Turf is a large facility and we do not anticipate any difficulty fulfilling these requests.  However, the additional requests will be accepted on a first-come-first-serve basis, as space permits, after all swimmer and parent(s) requests have been met. You will be notified no later than October 20th, only if your additional guest reservations cannot be fulfilled.

Awards: Awards will be presented ONLY to those swimmers in attendance. Swimmers attending an out-of-state college or who have moved out-of-state and will not be competing in Connecticut, may Order an Out-of-State Award online.  Awards will be mailed to out-of-state addresses only.

Award Jackets: Each swimmer invited to the banquet has the opportunity to purchase a swim jacket.  This custom made Boathouse jacket is only available to those swimmers invited to the Awards Banquet.  Please click here to order a jacket.  Sorry, we cannot take jacket orders at the banquet.
