CMA is a USA Swimming,
Club
Recognition Program Level 3 club member. The Club
Recognition Program offers club members a working blueprint for
developing strong, stable, financially sound and athletically
productive organizations.
Designed over a two
year period by USA Swimming’s Club Development Committee,
this voluntary program presents four levels of achievement across
four component areas deemed critical to long-term club success. The
program encourages clubs to establish organizational goals and to
benchmark their progress toward those goals. The ultimate objective
of the program is to strengthen the club system in USA Swimming by
guiding clubs through a development process that ultimately
positions the program and its coaches to better serve
athletes.
The Club Development
Committee looked at many different factors that helped create
“great” clubs. The committee grouped all of the factors
into four major component areas:
-
Business &
Organizational Success
-
Parent & Volunteer
Development
-
Coach Development &
Education
-
Athlete Development
& Performance
These component areas,
along with the markers in each area, were further subdivided into
four different levels of achievement from Level 1 to Level
4.
