The 16-member Board has drafted a letter to the United States Congress asking that financial support is provided to maintain these non-revenue sports, and to prevent additional programs from being cut.<\/p>\n<p>In recent months in the sport of swimming, universities such as Iowa, Michigan State and Dartmouth, among others, have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/university-of-iowa-to-cut-swimming-diving-after-2020-21-season-updated\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">eliminated swimming programs<\/a>. History indicates that once a program is cut by a school, it is highly unlikely it will ever be brought back. When these cuts are made, current athletes are forced to scramble, and fewer opportunities are available for future athletes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/chng.it\/YTwcJt96\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"attachment noopener wp-att-456659 noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"456659\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/ishof-letter-to-congress-makes-plea-for-financial-support-of-non-revenue-college-sports\/open-letter-to-congress\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Open-Letter-To-Congress-scaled.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1978,2560\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Open Letter To Congress\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Open Letter To Congress&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy:&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Open-Letter-To-Congress-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Open-Letter-To-Congress-791x1024.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-456659\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Open-Letter-To-Congress-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Open Letter To Congress\" width=\"700\" height=\"906\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Open-Letter-To-Congress-scaled.jpg 1978w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Open-Letter-To-Congress-791x1024.jpg 791w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Open-Letter-To-Congress-155x200.jpg 155w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Open-Letter-To-Congress-1187x1536.jpg 1187w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Open-Letter-To-Congress-1583x2048.jpg 1583w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Open-Letter-To-Congress-300x388.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Open-Letter-To-Congress-450x582.jpg 450w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Open-Letter-To-Congress-1200x1553.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Open-Letter-To-Congress-2000x2588.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Open-Letter-To-Congress-696x900.jpg 696w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Open-Letter-To-Congress-150x194.jpg 150w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Open-Letter-To-Congress-386x500.jpg 386w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Open-Letter-To-Congress-533x690.jpg 533w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In the letter to Congress, the ISHOF Board wrote: \u201cWe are asking you, when considering economic stimulus, to create funds specifically for sports that are being cut from college campuses nationwide. These funds could be applied for by the athletic departments ideally as grants or even as long term zero interest loans to be paid back over time. Anything to help keep these sports available for our youth would be a wise investment in our society.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The letter from the Board to Congress further stated: \u201cThe collegiate sports system is an essential part of the collegiate and high school educational systems. Sports provides lessons in teamwork, leadership, motivation, discipline, and provides many other positive benefits to MILLIONS of student athletes, teenagers, and youth across the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The complete letter from the International Swimming Hall of Fame to Congress can be read below. Among those signing the letter are Olympic champions Aaron Peirsol and Donna de Varona, and multiple-time Olympic coach Mark Schubert.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/chng.it\/YTwcJt96\" target=\"_blank\"
