Coach of the Year Award
This award is designed to recognize our most valuable resource in Club development and overall USMS participation. The sacrifice that many coaches make behind the scenes often go unnoticed by the majority of swimmers in their clubs. And while it may take a great deal of time and effort to sustain pool time, club membership, meet preparations and coaching on deck, there are some coaches that go even beyond what their team requires. These coaches have an impact on the coaches and swimmers around them in their area and also on a National level. These coaches are involved in all aspects of what USMS has to offer, and they give all of themselves to see that their love of swimming reaches the widest audience possible. The nomination deadline is July 1.
