Coaches.....  There will be an open coaches forum on Wednesday August 26th at 6:30pm.  It will be an informal chat that will center around our transition to Fall/Winter, and my hope is that we can continue to exchange thoughts and ideas on how to move forward with the immense challenges we will face in the coming months. We hope to see you there! Contact New Jersey Swim Office for ZOOM sign-in Information.

USA SWIMMING RECOVERY PLAN INFORMATION (From USA Swimming)
THE FINANCIAL INVESTMENT IN OUR BASE

  • USA Swimming initially pledges a minimum of $1M in grants to support clubs and members within LSCs with the fewest resources, funded by the USA Swimming Foundation.

  • Clubs will apply for grants directly to USA Swimming through its COVID-19 Relief Program for Teams. USA Swimming will coordinate a two-phased approach to applications:

    • Phase 1: immediate need to clubs in current financial peril

    • Phase 2: for clubs to prepare to re-open later this year and restart our sport at the local level

  • The strong strategic partnership built between the USA Swimming Foundation, USA Swimming and its 59 LSCs is the catalyst for the success of this program.

  • USA Swimming will look to LSCs to support its commitment to the sport of swimming by creating local grant funding for their local member clubs. Our collective goal is to generate more than $5M in funding across our 59 LSCs and provide grants to those clubs that successfully apply and are approved based on need.

  • The grant guidelines and application form can be found here: usaswimming.org/utility/covid-19-relief-program-for-teams

Beginning May 22nd, the Foundations of Coaching 101, 201, Club Leadership & Business Management 101, and LSC Leadership courses will be inaccessible for data transfer. The transfer should be complete by 11:59pm on May 25th.  If any tests need to be completed during this time period, please complete prior to the May 22nd blackout date.  USA Swimming
