Our Core Values
Coaching Behind a Cause
USA Swimming exists for the growth and success of swimming in the United States. Coaches are integral to this mission, guiding swimmers to excellence in the pool, and instilling in them the tools they need to succeed in life beyond competition. Here’s where they can find the resources they need to do that, including education, safety training, safe sport information, information on workshops and clinics, and more.
Sustained Success
We provide coaches the tools necessary to build their skills and become successful. We provide clubs with the resources to become safe and inclusive environments; the educational opportunities to support and engage non-athlete volunteers; and the operational expertise to contribute to a club’s success.Public Engagement and Growth
We promote water safety and emphasize that swimming saves lives. We prioritize growth in participation for all cultures, ages, genders, economic backgrounds and levels of ability.Best in Class NGB
We strive for members to recognize the value and impact of the organization on their lives. We strive to be recognized as a leader in Safe Sport.Coach Top Resources
2024 Membership Resource Guide
As we enter a home quad and are mindful of an away game in Brisbane in 2032, we’ve assembled a three-part resource to provide information for clubs and LSCs as they consider ways to grow and improve. We know that the strength of our sport is our community. These resources come directly from USA Swimming SWIMS Data, USA Swimming Clubs, and LSCs nationwide.BoardSource
