Fostering the Development of Leaders
in the Swimming Community
ASA U. club officers have a unique
opportunity to develop a valuable skill-set through their experiences
running an ASA U. club and coordinating team efforts.
The skills that make
for a successful ASA U. club officer are the same skills sought by varsity
coaches when they look for assistants; they're skills that are highly sought in the broader swimming community; and they're skills that translate into other areas of life.
ASA U. club officers:
•plan their seasons to ensure
that their swimmers have enough competitive opportunities to get
official times in their events for entry into ASA U. championship meets.
•coordinate meets with ASA and with other clubs to facilitate a better meet calendar
•host meets, act as meet directors, and,
when they aren't participating in the meet, sometimes act as meet
referees, all of which require them to learn and apply the rules
•coordinate with ASA and with other clubs in the region to ensure that a quality Regional Championship Meet is held in each region as a qualifier for Nationals
•engage in fund-raising and lobbying of their schools for funds for registration, meet entries, equipment, travel, lodging, coaching salaries, and other expenses
•recruit members
•plan travel, lodging, and meals
•secure sponsorships for their clubs and for their meets
•represent their clubs professionally and responsibly to their schools
•represent their clubs professionally and responsibly to the national organization
•seek and secure coaches and training facilities
