Utah Swimming, Inc. is run by the Board of Directors, 17 individuals (including
four athlete representatives) who are elected by the general membership at the
House of Delegates meeting or appointed by the General Chairman of the Board.
The Board of Directors meets monthly to discuss issues relating to USA swimming
in our state, including format and calendaring of swim meets, dispersal of Utah
Swimming funds to support athlete training and competition, Web site development
and many other issues of importance. Any member of Utah Swimming (anyone who
is registered with USA-S) may attend these meetings and may participate in discussions,
but only Board members may vote. Board of Directors meetings are currently held
the second Tuesday of every month at 7 p.m. at Cottonwood Heights Recreation
Center. Contact the Board Secretary (Kim Fong) to confirm the meeting date and
time if you would like to attend. The Board of Directors and their phone numbers
and e-mail addresses may be found on the Utah Swimming website (www.swimutah.com).
House of Delegates
Each swim club in Utah is entitled to send two voting delegates (one coach and
one parent) to the House of Delegates meetings, which are held each fall and
spring. In addition to election of Board Members, major policy decisions effecting
swim clubs and swimmers are voted upon at this meeting. If you would like input
into this process, speak to your club coach or president to see whether there
is an opening for a delegate from your team. Your club must register you with
the Board Secretary as a delegate prior to the House of Delegates meeting in
order for you to vote.
