class=\"wp-caption-text\">Courtesy: World Swimming Coaches Association<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>On its website, WSCA says: <em>\u201c<\/em>Our mission is to empower coaches, provide high-quality and affordable education, and amplify their voices within the swimming community, all on a global scale.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, rather than representing coaches throughout the world, a source told Swimming World it was felt over the last 10 years that it had merely become an extension of the ASCA with efforts made to address this in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, the constitution was rewritten in order to provide worldwide representation with a minimum of one representative on the WSCA Board from North America, South America, Africa, Europe, Asia and Oceania.<\/p>\n<p>It was passed by a majority vote in September with three of the National Coaches Associations voting against this.<\/p>\n<p>Despite WSCA reaching out and proposing talks, there was no response until a flurry of emails over the last 48 hours.<\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson described the situation as \u201cextremely frustrating and disappointing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The vast majority of swimming nations don\u2019t have national coaches\u2019 associations and WSCA made clear they were looking to educate and empower in those particular countries, and not in the USA, Canada, Australia or Great Britain.<\/p>\n<p>The WSCA spokesperson added:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cOur responsibility is to help coaches become better versions of themselves.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis can only have a negative impact on coaches.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In its statement, the WSCA says that from 2024, continental representatives will be selected from the world\u2019s leading coaches, with coaching performance a pre-requisite of application and acceptance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>World Swimming Coaches Association Statement<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe Board of the World Swimming Coaches Association (WSCA) make the following statement following that released by four National Swimming Coaches Associations regarding their affiliation with WSCA.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn September of this year, the WSCA Board voted for significant constitutional change, their strongest ever endeavor to date to ensure that the Association\u2019s governance and strategic direction is truly representational on a worldwide level.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWSCA is designed to serve coaches and not coaches associations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is our view that the statement from the four NSCA\u2019s is disappointing, unnecessary and does not best serve swimming coaches on a global level. These Associations are \u2018disassociating\u2019 from an organization run by volunteers with no agenda other to serve their own coach members.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRather than \u2018outsourcing\u2019 and embracing the role WSCA plays in the sport, they are implying a power grab that simply does not exist, and with the new Constitution, never will.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur new Constitution allows for a true and broadly-spread continental representation on the WSCA Board, rather than the previous default structure with control and influence in the hands of two or three powerful swimming nations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith WSCA serving over 14,000 members worldwide, the continents of North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Oceania will each have at least one representative on the Board following the Paris 2024 Games; it is clear and apparent that there remains opportunity for coaches from USA, Canada, Australia and Great Britain to occupy seats on the Board \u2013 but not at the regular expense of all other nations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Constitution also fully facilitates recognized and constituted NSCA\u2019s to be able to further their partnership with WSCA going forwards via their own Board seats, available to them through affiliation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is therefore a sad day that these NSCA\u2019s choose to disassociate themselves from WSCA when the aspiration of the Board is for clear, transparent and widespread international representation from all corners of the globe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom 2024, Continental representatives will be selected from the world\u2019s leading coaches, with coaching performance a pre-requisite of application and acceptance. WSCA is also now in a position to be able to appoint additional \u2018skill set\u2019 Directors to the Board to help them enable their 2024-2028 Strategic Plan. It is hard for us to see how this can be seen as anything but good, proactive and inclusive for those we serve and support.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe WSCA of 2023 has evolved to serve two missions. Firstly, the Association provides the voice for the high-performance coaches in the world through continuous advocacy, while remaining as service providers (through education and consulting) for the developing swimming nations of the world. WSCA is the only organization that serves both ends of the spectrum and is also the only Association that can serve the needs of the world\u2019s swimming coaches without a national-led agenda.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt should also be noted that the only NSCA that has been affiliated to WSCA over the last two years is the ASCTA. In many regards, this statement simply maintains the status quo that we have been working within. To date, the stated NSCA\u2019s have not chosen to take part in any constructive dialogue, other than to collectively challenge our efforts to serve the global coaching community.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe door will always be open for all NSCA\u2019s to be partners with WSCA, including the four that sit within this statement. We sincerely hope that over time, these particular NSCA\u2019s recognize that they have not acted in the interests of the coaches that they represent and that they reach out to us with swimming coach welfare, support and camaraderie at the heart of their decision-making. WSCA is, and always has been, strong, essential and progressive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll of those who would have swimming coach support at the heart of what they do will hopefully recognize over time that we are stronger working together, and that the world\u2019s swimming coaches will be better served for it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSincerely<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWSCA Board\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>World Swimming Coaches Association: Severing Of Ties By USA, Canada, Australia &amp;
