"I see some clubs have Club Excellence, Club Recognition, and Safe Sport Recognition listed under their description. What does this mean?"

The Club Excellence, Club Recognition, and Safe Sport Recognition Programs are three club development programs that Minnesota Swimming Clubs can take part in to aid clubs in developing strong, stable, financially sound and athletically productive organizations.

•Club Excellence: a voluntary program that identifies and recognizes USA Swimming clubs for their commitment to performance excellence. This program strives to promote the development of strong, well-rounded age group and senior swimming programs that produce elite 18 & under athletes, and provide recognition and resources to motivate and assist member clubs to strive for the highest ideals of athlete performance.

•Club Recognition: provides club members a working blueprint for developing a strong, stable, financially sound and athletically productive organization. It is a voluntary program with four levels of achievement across four component areas deemed critical to long-term club success (Level 4 being the highest level).

•Safe Sport Recognition: allows a club to publicly demonstrate its unwavering commitment to creating an abuse-free, safe, healthy and positive environment for all its members through the implementation of the Minor Athlete Abuse Prevention Policy, anti-bullying measures, Safe Sport Best Practices and Athlete Protection Training.
