Post Covid-19 Return To Competition - LSC Sanction Requirements
Covid-19 AddendumUSA Swimming September Sanctions Update
Dear members, We remain focused on supporting our teams and members in their return to training and their continued progression through our “crawl, walk, race” return to competition. There has been little change in circumstance regarding necessary precautions to take due to COVID-19 and the related access to water. As a result, the USA Swimming Board of Directors approved the following event sanction for September 2020:
An LSC shall establish submission deadlines for sanction or approval applications and shall publish such deadlines, along with relevant instructions and forms. More than anything, it is important to remember that all training and competition must conform to local, state, and federal public health guidelines. Should you have any questions regarding meet sanctioning and competition, please contact Joel Shinofield at jshinofield@usaswimming.org. Tech Suit Restriction for 12-and-Under Swimmers

Bidding Process for Meets
2. Meet Bidding Procedure
The short course and long course meet schedules for the LSC are determined at the spring and fall House of Delegates meetings, respectively. 2.1 In order to gain permission to host a USA SWIMMING meet, a club must have a representative at the appropriate LSC meeting to make known the club’s desire to host a meet on certain dates and give a defined meet format. 2.2 Notification of the Technical Planning Chairman prior to the LSC meeting about proposed meets allows for overall LSC meet planning. 2.3 Clubs must provide information about event fees, awards, and surcharges for each bid. Requests for sanction or approval of any meet not bid at the LSC Meeting will be reviewed by the Sanction Committee to determine if the meet interferes in anyway with previously bid meets. If the committee determines a conflict, request for sanction/approval will be denied. 2.4 Approval is given by vote of the House of Delegates. |
