This is a record for the association.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;This growth in our membership is very encouraging to those who work to educate and certify swim coaches around the world, in service to our swimming community,&quot; Leonard said. &quot;The ASCA has been proud to continually expand our efforts in education and advocacy for the sport, not just in the USA, but around the world, with initiatives in a variety of other nations, including Kenya, South Africa, The Philippenes, The UAE, Egypt, Mexico and a variety of other nations.
