Contest Details
The
objective of the Safety Poster Contest is to build awareness for safety in the
competitive swimming environment. Each
Local Swim Committee (LSC) gets to pick its winner. From the LSC winners the Operational Risk
Committee will pick 10 posters to be displayed at the USAS Convention. The
Grand Prize winner will be selected at Convention based on voting by visitors
to the display. All athlete members are

The
Operational Risk Committee of USA Swimming invites you to create a poster for
our Annual Safety Poster Contest, sponsored by Swimmer’s Edge. The theme for this year’s contest is Safety at Swim Practice. This contest promotes safety in our sport and
is targeted to our athlete members.
The goal is simple: create a poster about Safety at Swim Practice (water or dryland)
the rest is up to you and your imagination.
