The American Swim Coaches Association (ASCA) has responded to the latest proposed USA Swimming change on its governing body staff and future voting power within USA Swimming.<\/p>\n

ASCA released this statement on the proposals, calling for more of a voice among coaches in future decision-making among the House of Delegates.<\/p>\n

ASCA STATEMENT ON USA SWIMMING PROPOSALS<\/strong><\/p>\n

The American Swimming Coaches Association understands and appreciates the need for USA Swimming to alter its governing bodies this year as it works to comply with the Ted Stevens Act.\u00a0 We fully support compliance with the Congressional and USOPC mandates and support cooperation with the USOPC in reaching solutions.\u00a0 USA-Swimming continues to be a leader among NGBs, and the coaches within USA Swimming are grateful for continued efforts by leadership and the working groups to reach out and involve its members in the restructuring process.<\/em><\/p>\n

As the process plays out, ASCA urges USA-Swimming to\u00a0recognize and value the vital contribution of coaches\u00a0to the success and continued improvement of our NGB as it considers how to make mandated changes to the governance structure.<\/em><\/p>\n

On behalf of all coaches in USA-Swimming, ASCA strongly supports guaranteed coach representation equal to the required 1\/3 athlete representation.\u00a0 Coaches are the lifeblood of our sport.\u00a0 We have a vested interest unlike any other stakeholder.\u00a0 We have devoted our lives and our careers to our athletes and to the sport, and in fact our families and our livelihoods depend on its success.\u00a0 To reduce our voice and our vote within the USA Swimming decision-making bodies would be detrimental to our sport and especially to the athletes whose lives we shape every day.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

ASCA calls on USA Swimming to:<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Require the House of Delegates, Board of\u00a0Directors and National Committees to be made up of at least 1\/3 Athletes and at least 1\/3 Coaches.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Create the Athletes Advisory Committee (AAC) at the June 30, 2021 meeting so it may quickly move to redefine the 10-year athletes and pursue inclusion of 10-year+ athletes and para-athletes in the athletes\u2019 pool prior to the vote on the restructuring on the House of Delegates, Board of\u00a0Directors and National Committees.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Remove the House of Delegates proposal from the agenda of the June 30, 2021 Special House of Delegates meeting and move it to a meeting later in 2021 so that more time, deliberation and involvement of stakeholders can be achieved before the proposal is brought to a vote.<\/em><\/p>\n

USA Swimming is at a critical juncture in its evolution.\u00a0\u00a0Decisions made now will affect athletes, coaches and the sport for generations to come.\u00a0 We urge you to utilize all available time to involve all stakeholders in meaningful and respectful deliberations so that the very best decisions are reached and the 400,000 members of USA Swimming can move forward in a united and successful way.
