NISCA is sad to announce the passing of Arnie Cajet (IL). After a stellar diving career at Loyola Academy and the University of Illinois, he coached for over 50 years, starting at Niles West High School, moving to New Trier High School and finishing at Loyola Academy. He was the first diving coach ever to be named to The International Swimming Hall of Fame. He was a member of the Illinois Swimming Association Diving Hall of Fame, the Illinois Swimming Coaches Association Hall of Fame and Loyola Academy Hall of Fame. He coached nine Illinois State Champions, one National Champion, 27 National Interscholastic Swimming Coaches Association (NISCA) All Americans and seven honorable mentions All Americans. He was the NISCA Diving chairman for 16 years. He will be missed!

As you know, NISCA has decided to cancel the 2020 Annual Conference in Indianapolis for the health and safety of our members. The executive board has met and held discussions about topics related to the cancellation of the Conference and also the closing of many schools across the US. Here is what you need to know and the Conference and All America Applications.
After discussion with the NISCA Executive board, we do not wish to risk the health of any of our members. Therefore, the 2020 NISCA Annual Conference will be cancelled.
The executive board will decide how to best move forward. We will have more information in coming days. Thank you for your patience during this very fluid and difficult situation.
As of 1:30pm EST on Thursday March 12th, no decisions have been made about the NISCA Conference scheduled for March 25-28 in Indianapolis. The executive board is gathering information and will be meeting soon to discuss our options. We hope to have more information no later than Monday, most likely earlier. We will keep you informed as we get new information. As you know, the situation is quite fluid at the moment. We thank you for your patience.
I have 14 Colorado relay judging platforms available for purchase. All new in-box (other than 1 which was put on a block once but never used). Willing to let them go at best offer. You must pay shipping. 32x24 inches.
