Junior Athlete and Coach Representative Nominations

Junior Athlete Representative

As the term for the Senior Athlete Representatives Lexi Koukos and Molly Condron comes to a close, we would like to gather eager swimmers to take up a position in Connecticut Swimming. The Athlete Representative is a great learning experience in both taking part in the important decision making process and take another view of the sport that we all spend so much time in.

Have you ever felt the desire to help make the sport that you have participated in for so long, even better for future swimmers? If so, you are no different than any of us current representatives. We all chose this voluntarily as we wanted to voice our opinion and see how we could possibly effect Connecticut Swimming.

There are many privileges that taking up the position can deliver. You can voice your opinion to the adults who will respect and consider your thoughts as the decisions would impact your sport. This, by the way, is a great feeling, especially when you get to know the coaches and laugh alongside them. Another privilege includes going to the United States Aquatic Sports Convention. This year, Ty, Lexi, and Molly came back meeting famous swimmers and other representatives from all across the country. Most of all, it really gives you the other side, all of the meetings and thought that goes into making this sport possible.

Surely, there are ideas that you can think of that would benefit our effort in improving our sport.  If you have any questions about the process just contact any of us and we will gladly answer. Please, by all means, nominate yourself and join us.
