14 Acts of Kindness In an effort to make our corner or the world a kinder place, we'd like to do a small spread kindness project with the team. There are 14 weeks between each groups first day and last meet this summer. We would like to have a different spread kindness project each week and are taking suggestions from swimmers and parents! Please submit your ideas for a weekly kindness project. Each project should be something short and simple to do, and something that an eight year old could complete with little stress. We are looking for small acts of kindness that brightens the day of people around us. Here is a great resource to help you get started on ideas to share http://www.spreadkindness.org/ Our JO team decided they would get the project going and had bag tags made up for the swim meet participants. They were received with lots of smiles from a lot of very nervous swimmers. The bag tags are pictured here.
From the USA Swimming office: To avoid risk of serious injury, no swimmer who has not been properly trained should attempt to perform a racing start, from either a starting block or the side of the pool, into less than six feet of water. USA Swimming has implemented a racing start certification program where a swimmer’s coach documents his or her professional judgment that a swimmer has demonstrated sufficient skill to safely perform a racing start into four feet of water in competition. There are rare occasions when swimmers may participate in swimming competitions not under...

Dear USA Swimming Family, In light of recent media coverage, I would like to provide some perspective on the very important subject matter discussed and the commentary surrounding USA Swimming’s Safe Sport efforts.

Every day we work hard to get better as an organization. We are never complacent. We want to listen and to hear from you. We are rightfully held to a high standard by our membership and our peers, and we will continue to work tirelessly to educate members, put policies in place, and empower clubs to create the best possible environments for all members.
