USA Swimming is coming to Connecticut with an outstanding group of speakers to conduct education seminars and workshops for coaches, officials, club management and parents. 

Our goal is 100% attendance by every CSI club. Clubs should communicate the Swimposium to their members and encourage attendance.  This is a wonderful opportunity to educate parents about competitive swimming, develop coaching and officiating skills and build club organization. The House of Delegates will convene immediately following lunch.  Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend.

The Swimposium is offered at no charge to CSI members and parents of CSI athletes. A complimentary buffet lunch will be provided to coaches, officials, key volunteers and club officers. Those attending the House of Delegates meeting are welcome to a complimentary lunch as well.  Others may purchase a lunch for $17.00.

Registration: Registration is by online submittal. Please print the final page of your submittal. This is your confirmation. CSI will not send any further confirmation.
