Applications Now Available for Club Excellence 2008:

USA Swimming is proud to honor the commitment of our clubs as we introduce the eighth year of the USA Swimming Club Excellence Program. The focus of this voluntary program is to identify and reward up to 200 USA Swimming clubs that have attained a high level of athlete performance as well as organizational success. The performance component of this program utilizes the International Point Score (IPS) rating system.

Please note that the application requirements have changed slightly this year. The various items previously required in the Professional/Organizational Component have been replaced by a Club Recognition Program requirement. All clubs applying for the 2008 Club Excellence program must successfully complete at least Level 1 of the Club Recognition Program.

Applications were mailed to all USA Swimming clubs on November 14, 2008. The application deadline is January 12, 2008. Application Link
