NJCAA Preview: Death, Taxes… and Indian River!<\/span><\/h1>\n

By Andy Ross<\/span><\/p>\n

Indian River State College will be shooting for its 47th straight men\u2019s and 39th consecutive women\u2019s NJCAA team titles.<\/strong><\/p>\n

NJCAA<\/span><\/strong>
\nApril 28-May 1<\/span>
\nIndian River State College
\nFort Pierce, Florida<\/span><\/p>\n

In a year as weird as the COVID season of 2020-21, one thing is certain: Indian River State College is still the school to beat at the NJCAA Swimming and Diving Championships.<\/p>\n

IRSC was one of the few teams to get its hands on a national championship trophy in 2020, as NJCAAs were held just before the threat of coronavirus began to shut down sports competitions throughout the world.<\/p>\n

This year, all systems are go for 2021, and Indian River\u2019s men should garner their 47th consecutive national title. The Pioneers have six swimmers who lead the nation in at least two events: Luke Altmann in the 50, 100 and 200 yard free; Chance Conde (500 and 1650); Jhon Moncada (100-200 back); Michael Deans (100-200 breast); Brennan Hammond (100-200 fly); and Aramis Rivera (200-400 IM).<\/p>\n

It is safe to say that with this star power, Coach Sion Brinn will be hoisting the team trophy once again in his home pool. Last year, the team was pushed by Barton (Kan.) and Iowa Central, but this year, those teams aren\u2019t expected to factor into the final score.<\/p>\n

Even without 2020 Co-Swimmer of the Year Hannah Kiely, Indian River still has a stacked women\u2019s team led by the likes of Taryn Dailey (fly\/free) and Rylee Woelk (breast\/IM). With a win over Barton last year, Indian River\u2019s women extended their winning streak to 38.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been difficult for NJCAA teams to compete in many meets this season because of the COVID restrictions. Only three NJCAA schools have even registered a time in the 200 medley relay, meaning this year\u2019s national meet may look like none other before it. Still, based on its history and current roster, Indian River is the team to beat.<\/p>\n

\nby Dawn Weatherwax<\/strong>

038 SWIMMING TECHNIQUE CONCEPTS: APPLYING MECHANICAL PRINCIPLES TO IMPROVE SWIMMING TECHNIQUE<\/strong><\/span>
\nby Rod Havriluk<\/strong>
\nMany swimmers attempt to swim faster by modeling the technique of the fastest swimmers. Using champions as models is an archaic approach of painstakingly slow, trial-and-error that risks adopting technique limitations. A far superior approach is to apply mechanical principles that eliminate uncertainty and accelerate the skill-learning process.<\/p>\n
