Wisconsin High School Swimming will be well represented at the NISCA Conference to be held in June. (NISCA is a professional organization that supports coaches in all aquatic events.)


In addition to a strong speaker lineup, coaches can learn from the best in the business. There will also be pool sessions for swimming and diving.

Tim Foulks, from Neenah, will receive the Outstanding Service Award. Tim follows a long tradition of coaches from Wisconsin who have received the Outstanding Service Award. Five inductees have been awarded this award since 1971.


Past Wisconsin winners include - 

  • Morgan Byers from Whitefish Bay


  • Peter Colosimo from Shorewood



  • Bob White Sr from Wawautosa 



  • Dean Russell from Glendale



  • Ed Zepka from Appleton



  • Tom Hargraves from Madison



  • Tom Caccia from Platteville



  • Dave Bloomier from West Bend



  • Gary Koplin from Madison



  • Mike Schuelke from Neenah



  • Mike Slagle from Plymouth



  • Kyle Bedalov from Waukesha





Kyle Bedalov, long-time Waukesha North/Kettle Moraine boys and girls coach, who now coaches Marquette High (Boys) and Divine Savior/Holy Angels (Girls), will be appointed President of NICSA. Only two other coaches from Wisconsin have been the President of NISCA - Arno Wittich, who coached Milwaukee Boys Tech, and Peter Colosimo, who coached at Shorewood High School.  Arno was President from 1942-43, and Peter from 1946-47.


Congratulations to both Tim and Kyle!
