6/23 - Eligibility requirements for the 2010 Club Excellence Program are now posted on the USA Swimming web site. The requirements remain essentially the same for Gold and Silver eligibility. One major change affects Bronze eligibility. To be eligible for Bronze level recognition, a club must have at least one 18-under athletes achieve a long course time standard for an individual event for the 2009 Long Course Junior Nationals. However, it is not necessary that the athlete compete at the LC Junior Nationals.

6/20 - Last year’s Olympic year recruiting campaign is back! The program had 1,250 local parties with plenty of local media coverage for our host clubs. In 2009, clubs will be able to watch NBC’s broadcast of either the World Championship Trails or World Championships and showcase their club. The goal of the program is to generate local excitement around the events and leverage that excitement to assist with our clubs’ recruiting efforts.
Once again, we provide everything needed for clubs to have a successful party - games, prizes, giveaways and decorations. In addition to the hard goods, there is a fully dedicated site for the hosts: www.splashbash2009.com.
