By completing the Club Recognition Level 2 we are closer
to being a Gold Medal Club.
The
Club Recognition Program offers our club members a working
blueprint for developing strong, stable, financially sound and
athletically productive organizations.
Designed over a two year period by USA
Swimming's Club Development Committee, this voluntary program
presents four levels of achievement across four component areas
deemed critical to long-term club success. The
program encourages clubs to establish organizational goals and
to benchmark their progress toward those goals. The ultimate
objective of the program is to strengthen the club system in USA
Swimming by guiding clubs through a development process that
ultimately positions the program and its coaches to better
serve athletes.
The
Club Development Committee looked at many different factors that
helped create "great" clubs. The committee grouped all of the
factors into four major component areas:
- Business & Organizational Success
- Parent & Volunteer Development
- Coach
Development & Education
- Athlete Development & Performance
These
component areas, along with the markers in each
area, were further subdivided into four different levels of
achievement from Level 1 to Level 4 (Level 4 being the
highest):
