Our Core Values
Coaching Behind a Cause
USA Swimming exists for the growth and success of swimming in the United States. Coaches are integral to this mission, guiding swimmers to excellence in the pool, and instilling in them the tools they need to succeed in life beyond competition.

We provide clubs with the resources to become safe and inclusive environments; the educational opportunities to support and engage non-athlete volunteers; and the operational expertise to contribute to a club’s success.Public Engagement and Growth
We promote water safety and emphasize that swimming saves lives. We prioritize growth in participation for all cultures, ages, genders, economic backgrounds and levels of ability.Best in Class NGB
