What is USA Swimming? Maryland Swimming? an LSC?United States Swimming (www.usaswimming.org) is responsible for the administration of swimming throughout the United States. Maryland Swimming (www.mdswim.org) is the governing body of swimming in most of the state of Maryland. Prince Georges and Montgomery Counties of Maryland belong to another governing body, Potomac Valley (www.pvswim.org). Because Maryland Swimming is the local chapter of United States Swimming, we are referred to as an LSC – or the Local Swim Committee. There are 59 LSCs that make up United States Swimming. Maryland Swimming is responsible for managing the business affairs for United States Swimming within the Maryland LSC. MSI, Maryland Swimming Incorporated, establishes a meet schedule and oversees the running of all meets in Maryland according to the rules established by United States Swimming. MSI registers all of the clubs, athletes, coaches and officials in Maryland in accordance with rules established by United States Swimming. A House of Delegates, made up of 2 delegates from every club, governs Maryland Swimming. The House of Delegates meets once a year, in the month of June. The House of Delegates elects a Board of Directors to conduct all business for MSI during the year. The House of Delegates must approve the schedule, the annual Budget, and any changes or additions to the rules, regulations or policies. |
