The Newburgh Sea Creatures (NSC)
is a competitive age-group swim club with a team roster of 150
swimmers. The team provides swimming opportunities to children of
all ages. The team operates under the rules and regulations
of USA Swimming, Indiana
Swimming, and the Southern
Indiana Swim Conference.
Practices and home meets are held
at Castle High School’s new, state-of-the art, 50 meter by 25
yard indoor pool. This new facility allows for up to 19
practice lanes and 14 competition lanes during the short course
season and 9 practice lanes and 8 competition lanes when configured
for long course meters.
NSC typically hosts two meets
a year, one during the short-course and one during the long-course
season.
Being a member of the NSC swim club helps the swimmers develop
physically, socially, and emotionally. We strive to improve them as
individuals and as team members through a positive swimming
experience. The sport of swimming has many benefits, including the
people involved with the sport. The camaraderie among swimmers is
unique; many swimmers become lifelong friends. In addition to being
around fine people, swimming provides one of the most beneficial
forms of exercise for cardiovascular and overall fitness. This
exercise can be enjoyed throughout one’s entire
life.
NSC is a family-oriented club and
thrives through the participation of our coaches, swimmers, and
parents. The team is a not-for-profit organization that has been in
existence for over 30 years. It is designed to encourage maximum
participation, provide an educational experience, enhance physical
and mental condition, and develop a rich base of swimming
talent.
The team functions with the support of volunteer swim parents and
the efforts of the coaching staff that is employed by the team. The
major financial support for the club comes from dues, sponsorships,
and from hosting swim meets.
The team operates on essentially two seasons per year. The winter
season runs from September to the middle of February. The summer
season runs from the beginning of April to the end of July. The
structure of the team itself is broken into groups based on
swimming ability.
