The national efforts of USA Swimming and the Athlete Executive Committee (AEC) have provided leadership opportunities to those able to attend either We LEAD, She LEADS or the AEC’s Leadership Summit. However, these programs only reach a small portion of USA Swimming’s athlete membership. These LSC Summits will ensure that more athletes can benefit from our leadership and governance curriculum.
These local summits allow the LSC’s Athlete Committee to lead their peers and share their enthusiasm for being involved in USA Swimming.
Attendance criteria is set by the LSC, but these events are typically open to high school age swimmers. For more information on a specific event please contact your LSC.
Our Women's Leadership opportunities are designed for every level coach to grow both personally and professionally. The structure of the summit or conference changes from event to event, but is sure to leave you feeling recharged in your life and career.
Our She LEADS Summits are designed to inspire leadership in our female athletes and build their confidence to achieve success both in and out of the pool. These summits are open to 10th, 11th and 12th grade female swimmers.
Our We LEAD Summits are designed to offer all athletes, regardless of gender, the opportunity to learn & grow as a leader. These are open to 10th, 11th and 12th grade swimmers.

The aim of the LSC Leadership Summits are to provide leadership & governance training for high school-aged athletes. We hope that this training can be applied within athletes’ clubs, LSCs, and on the National level, but more importantly, we hope that these leadership exercises can carry over into all walks of the attendee’s life.
The national efforts of USA Swimming and the Athlete Executive Committee (AEC) have provided leadership opportunities to those able to attend either We LEAD, She LEADS or the AEC’s Leadership Summit. However, these programs only reach a small portion of USA Swimming’s athlete membership. These LSC Summits will ensure that more athletes can benefit from our leadership and governance curriculum.
Additionally, these local summits allow the LSC’s Athlete Committee to lead their peers and share their enthusiasm for being involved in USA Swimming.
If you have any questions regarding the planning or content for a LSC Leadership Summit, please contact any one of the following people:
Morgan Weinberg, USA Swimming, Manager of Education & Programs

In 2020, USA Swimming launched a pilot program providing grants to 18 Local Swim Committees to host their own local level athlete leadership summits. For more information on this program, click on "LSC Athlete Leadership Summits."
The US Center for Safe Sport and USA Swimming prohibit discrimination against any member or participant on the basis of gender, sexual orientation, gender expression and gender identity is prohibited (304.3.3). In the event that a question should arise
about whether an athlete’s request to participate in a manner consistent with his/her/their gender identity is bona fide, USA Swimming will refer to the Code of Conduct and follow its standard procedures of enforcement.
If you have any other questions regarding Leadership opportunities, please contact Morgan Weinberg at mweinberg@usaswimming.org.
