Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
USA Swimming is committed to increasing multicultural, ethnic, and socioeconomic diversity at all levels of the sport to achieve and foster an inclusive swimming environment. In following with this commitment, Minnesota Swimming has established the Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DEI) Committee.
What is the DEI Committee? |
| The Mission Statement of the DEI Committee is as follows: USA and MN Swimming are committed to a culture of diversity, inclusion, and equal opportunity. We welcome and ensure swimmers are able to participate to their fullest ability regardless of race, age, income, ethnicity, religion, gender, gender expression, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation and mental or physical disability.
