USAS Convention Notes

Thank you to our Illinois Swimming Board Members and Delegates who attended the USAS Convention September 10-14 in St. Louis.

LSC Development- LEAP Program will be changing in 2021. Instead of level 1, 2 and 3, LSCs will now just go thru the LEAP process.

USA Swimming is working on providing more readily available and usable analytical data thru the LSC portals on the USA Swimming website.

Rules and Regulations- USA Swimming HOD sent a resolution back to the USA Swimming Board of Directors regarding the increase of club dues to USA Swimming. Currently club dues to USA Swimming are $70 annually the proposed fees were $250 for current clubs and $500 for new clubs. No reasonable explanation was given for the increase and thus the HOD directed this go back to the Board.

Central Zone Meeting- A .25 cent per premiere swimmer membership and outreach swimmer membership was passed. Illinois Swimming will make this payment to the Central Zone at the end of each registration year. This fee will allow for the Zone to support officials and meet enhancements at the CZ Age Group Meets and the Speedo Sectional Meets.

Illinois Swimming will be attending the Central Zone Meet in Jenks, Oklahoma in 2020.

Illinois will be hosting a Central Zone Age Group Meet in 2021 at the FMC facility. Congratulations on being awarded this meet.

Athlete Meeting- Our athletes did a great job in St. Louis. We were able to meet to during the athlete engagement meeting to discuss some potential goals for 2019-2020. I am excited to see what the athletes bring to the Board for future programming consideration.

USA Swimming House of Delegates- Congratulations to the Chicago Park District on being awarded the DEI award.

Congratulations to Bill Schalz of the Academy Bullets on being elected to a 4 year term on the USA Swimming Board of Directors.

Program Operations Vice-Chair Report HOD Meeting – September 22, 2019

Included in this report is a summary of items both completed and in-progress since taking on this position. • New computers and networking system bought and installed in ISI office. Thanks to Jeff Arce for taking point on this as I was just getting in this position as it was happening.

• Worked with Pam on lodging and transportation for several ISI camps and championship meets.

• Built and posted LC Championship meet databases. Working to iron out minor kinks for upcoming short course season.

• Attended multiple Performance Committee meetings. Big focus was HOF criteria.

• Worked with Officials, Age Group & Senior Chairs to ensure smooth running of our Championship meets.

• Attending Championship meet host meeting at Burr Ridge Marriott. Informational and productive event coordinated by Pam Lowenthal.

• Purchased lane bells for distance events. Officials Committee now in possession of enough working bells to cover all of our championship meets (up to 20 lanes).

• Properly disposed of antiquated office electronics (computers, etc.) at the Village of Des Plaines facility. Thanks to Jeff and Melissa for doing a major de-cluttering of the ISI office.

• Worked with multiple meet hosts to ensure they were planning their meet sessions to adhere to USA & Illinois Swimming time schedule rules & regulations.

• Meet/Session planning information – all sessions must be planned to adhere to all USA & Illinois Swimming timeline which are as follows: - Illinois Swimming Rule 203.3.1 (and USA Swimming rule 205.3.1-F) states “All timed final competition on a single day must be completed within a maximum of ten (10) hours. With the exception of championship meets, the program in all other age group competition shall be planned to allow the events for swimmers twelve (12) and younger to be completed in four (4) or less hours or less for a timed finals session or in a total of eight (8) hours or less per day for preliminaries and finals meet.”

- Illinois Swimming Rule 203.3.1 states: “All preliminary/final competition on a single day shall be completed within a maximum of eleven and one half (11½) hours exclusive of all warm-up periods.”

- Illinois Swimming Rule 203.3.4 states: “No additional entries shall be accepted after the daily maximum time limit has been reached. Meets shall be considered “closed” when the daily maximum time limit has been reached and no further entries can be accepted.”

- All meets/sessions must be planned to adhere to these rules. The goal is to be fair and consistent and help teams avoid penalties.

• Work on short course championship meet databases will begin soon with hopes of getting them posted in a timely manner.

TREASUER REPORT-ISI HOUSE OF DELEGATES Fall 2019 September 22, 2019 Because of HOD being in September this year, the fiscal year ending August 31, 2018 has not been closed out yet. Please find posted the budget vs actual from September 2018-August 2019 and the proposed 2020 budget. 2019 looks like we will end the fiscal year with approximately $140,000 in net operating income and currently ISI has about $375,000 in cash. Both programming expenses and especially general and administration expenses were lower than budgeted. 2020 Budget Revenue=$1,983,850 Expenses=$2,016,835 AEF contribution for Olympic Trial athletes=$33,000 Total net income for 2020=$15.00 2020 Budget Highlights Sponsorships are a continued work in process. $15,500 is budgeted in 2020 and we received about $16,500 in 2019 We spent $34,000 in 2019 on webcasting and are forecasting about $10,000 this year $34,000 is budgeted to support the Olympic Trial Camp and suite for trials in June The inaugural ISI Hall of Fame is in the works and $10,000 is allotted for that The recommendation of the Board of Directors to the House of Delegates at the August 2019 board meeting is to adopt the attached 2020 budget as presented. AEF Update August 2019 No funds were added or withdrawn from October 2018 thru August 2019 The AEF was $729,230 on August 31, 2018 The AEF was $679,836 on Dec 31, 2018 The AEF was $742,699 on August 31, 2019 The portfolio has a moderate growth and income investment objective (60 equity/40 fixed income) and current yield of 2.5%. Annual dividends from the portfolio are about $19,000. This portfolio is exactly how USA Swimming has its portfolio positioned for their long term money.

Governance Achievements We have partnered with an accounting firm to do monthly bank reconciliation and monthly payroll. This puts more checks and controls in place and coincides with the USA Swimming policy. We are working on a sales tax exemption for ISI. The process is almost complete and that will help on the expense side throughout the budget. Attended the USAS Convention and specifically the treasurer workshop and was pleased to find that ISI procedures and USA Swimming procedures line up very well. I want to thank Pam and the office staff for all their help in getting me up to speed that past nine months. I look forward to serving as your treasurer for the next couple of years. Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns.

Respectfully Submitted, Marc P Tucci (BNSC) ISI Treasurer

Report: 59 Page 4 of 4 Illinois Swimming Coaches' Committee Report Coach Rob Emary—Coaches' Chair

The Coaches' Committee and ISI hosted a Social at Age Group Champs in July and a Golf Outing in August. We are trying to provide some opportunities for Collaboration where coaches can share ideas and information.

USAS Convention Report It was a tremendous honor to represent ISI at the convention this year. Here are a couple of things that I think we all can use to make ourselves better as coaches and our athletes better.

If Something is Empty Fill It UP The one thing that really hit me is excellence finds a way. Listening to coaches that have facilities issues have engineered ways to feed their base of developmental athletes. Example---on a school day off bringing in the developmental groups for starts and turn work. That could be 4-6 extra opportunities for the introductory level of our programs.

Best On Best Training In the coaches' forum the buzz was USA Swimming's weakness in the distance events. Specifically the men's distance events. The nugget was providing opportunities for the best swimmers to train hard and race together. This can be done across any race, Fly, Back, Breast, Free, IM, Sprint, Stroke, and Distance events. These opportunities can be vital for ISI swimmers to get some great competition in training against each other. Not just getting together, but getting them together to train hard. I want to work with the Senior Committee and coaches in ISI to get these opportunities rolling as we approach Omaha and Tokyo.

Coaching Education. Here are the new required coach education courses for this year. USADA Coaching Advantage Tutorial Starting September 1, all coach members will be required to complete an annual USADA Coaching Advantage Tutorial (CAT) course by January 1, 2020. This 20-minute video course (presented in four modules) was added following discussions with the Age Group Anti-Doping Task Force and will be available on the LEARN platform, covering WADA code, checking medications, the testing process and a coach’s role in the clean sport movement. The latter is an incredibly significant element of the training that is crucial at all age levels. Renewal date for this course will be one year from completion date. Athlete Protection Training In response to member feedback, beginning September 1, 2019, you may notice the next time you log in that the three courses of the Athlete Protection Training have been streamlined into one. The training course continues to be produced by the U.S. Center for SafeSport and must be completed annually with a renewal date one year from the completion date. All adult athlete and non-athlete members must complete this training. This includes coaches, officials, Junior Coaches and anyone authorized to have regular contact with or authority over a minor athlete. Please direct questions about the Athlete Protection Training to Concussion Protocol Training This requirement is new for all coaches and officials in 2020. Though several states have previously passed concussion education requirements, USA Swimming will now require all coaches and officials complete Concussion Protocol Training by January 1, 2020. Goals for the next HOD Raise Awareness of Educational Opportunities and Grants to attend Raise Awareness of USA Swimming Recognition—World Top 100, NAG Top 10 Raise Awareness of USA National at JR National Selection Meets and Process Raise Awareness of USA Swimming programs and services available to ISI Coaches and Clubs Initiate a workout sharing and collaboration forum for ISI Coaches. Educational Opportunity at the Athlete Recognition Banquet Educational Opportunity at the Spring HOD Hosting Social Opportunities at Age Group Champs

Respectfully submitted Coach Rob Emary Official’s Chair Report to the House of Delegates September 22, 2019

OFFICIALS COMMITTEE

The Officials Committee is currently comprised of:

. Chair – Jack Yetter (SCST) . Training and Materials – Dave Johnson (MAVS) . Training Operations – Tim Krull (ACAD) . Communications – Ed Gershburg (ACAD) . Championship Meet Planning – Kim Mozdzierz-Frank (EXPR) . Inclusion – Amanda Schleede (CPD) . Membership and Certification – Scott Penland (BNSC) . At-Large Member – Tim Lehman (BBSC) . Lead Area Rep – Dan Clasen (WCS)  Area Reps o Brice Walker (BNSC) o John Shenberger (LWSA) o Betty Chan (ULT) o Steve Fidanze (MMSC) o Marcia Srivistava (NTA) . Athlete Reps – Nelly Hadlaw (WILD) and Zach Eckstrom (ACAD)

OFFICIALS BY THE NUMBERS

 ISI has 862 registered officials as of September 15. This is up from 792 on April 3 and in line with where we should be. This is an 8% increase, making good on the 4% loss from 2018 registration. We are the largest LSC in officials.  12% of teams still have no officials.  There are 140 Referees serving ISI, nearly even with the 138 at this time last year, so most of our increases are at the “incoming positions” of AO and Stroke Judge.  394 (45%) of our officials are female, up from 41% three years ago.  The top five teams in registered officials are: o FOX 38 o SCST 38 o ACAD 34 o MAVS 30 o PAC 24  There are also 27 unattached officials in ISI, meaning these five teams and the unattached officials constitute 191 of our 862 officials, or 22%.

Official’s Chair Report to the House of Delegates September 22, 2019

TRAINING:  We have the following scheduled full clinics for this season: o 9/22 – MAVS (Naperville) o 10/5 – PPD (Palatine) o 10/20 – HPAC (Highland Park) o 10/20 – HEAT (Champaign) o 10/27 – BBSC (Bradley)

In addition, we are working out details of a Springfield Clinic.

CHAMPIONSHIP MEETS  We are currently working on staffing the spring championship meets. We expect to have the information to the Age Group and Senior Committees for inclusion in the initial meet packets. We wait for regional assignments until the HOD approves the regional meet assignments but expect to make requests to meet referees and admin officials for the meet packets this week.  Thanks to the staff of the 2019 Long Course Championship Meets: o Seniors: Ann Widdowson, Meet Ref; Brent Lightfoot, Admin Ref; Paula Myhre; Lead SR/DR; John Eckstrom/Julie Yetter, Lead CJ o Age Groups: Brett Cumberland, Meet Ref; Becky Menso, Admin Ref; Bill Shanel, Lead SR/DR; Chuck Franckowiak, Lead CJ. o Regional Meet Referees: Tim Lehman, Michael Jaskae, Tom Merlin, Shevaun Fennell, Dan Schober, Dave Champa, Jeff Waddell.

INITIATIVES

 Online Learning o With the support of the Board of Directors the Officials Committee has undertaken moving training for stroke and turn judges and admin officials to online platforms. o The program will be a combination of video lessons we will produce and an interactive webinar with an Illinois Swimming trainer. o A subcommittee of Jack Yetter, Tim Krull, Dave Johnson, Amanda Schleede and Jayne Spittler are currently working to have a fully developed program in place to beta test and launch in 2020. o We believe the following benefits will come from this initiative: . More flexibility for new officials to take classes and become certified. We are still battling a concentration of officials, and while the micro clinics Official’s Chair Report to the House of Delegates September 22, 2019

have proven helpful in combating that, small or geographically isolated clubs struggle to get individuals to the physical clinics. . Less stress related to finding hosts and instructors. . A reduction in costs of clinics. We currently charge $35, most of which is given to the hosts to mitigate their costs. Our initial analytic work shows we can make the online clinics revenue neutral and charge $12 to $16 dollars. We will know for certain when we finalize our contracts with software and webhosting providers. o While this removes the on-deck portions of clinics for stroke and turn, a recent survey of existing officials we took showed that 74% felt that they learned more in their on-deck training sessions than at the clinics. This being said, we still believe that a robust training program has to introduce them to the rules and other basics before putting individuals on deck. o It is our intention to evaluate this project after completing these levels then determining a way to scale them out to train starters and referees.  Succession planning o We are in the process of planning for 2021. At that time, I will reach my term limit as officials chair and planning will make for a better transition to the next chair. o To that end, we are going to begin pairing area reps with existing committee members to help them learn the jobs of those people, and we are attempting to groom the next generation of leadership.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS  Since the last House of Delegates: o We began the Online Learning Subcommittee o We began succession planning o I attended the National Officials Chair meeting in Charlotte (side note: there was a tornado). I advocated for more Illinois Swimming representation on national decks and at trials and spoke on training and technology issues. o I attended Convention for one day, as most official’s business was handled at the National OC Meeting, and little proposed legislation impacted our work or was controversial. I continued my lobbying efforts on behalf of ISI. o Amanda Schleede, Tim Krull and John Eckstrom attended a Central Zone meeting designed for future championship meet referees. o Our budget was submitted and approved by the Board for recommendation for the house. Two notes: . Our proposed budget is somewhat higher this year for two primary reasons. First, 202 is a recertification year which means we have to pay Official’s Chair Report to the House of Delegates September 22, 2019

the costs of putting on two recertification clinics. Second, as Trials is this year, I requested $1500 per official for scholarship for that meet. It is a 9-day commitment by the selected officials for which USAS provides no financial support. I also requested for three officials even though we have only had two selected in each of the previous three cycles as I have been pushing for greater inclusion of ISI officials at these meets. o In my role as a member of the Rules and Regulations Committee, I supported the committee in its work on the new by-laws, including setting forth the newly proposed Officials section of the policy and procedure manual to make up for the loss of content in the rules and regulations and by-laws. o We’ve been investigating best practices for moving championship meet e- scratch from an email system to an online system and intend to have a proposal for the Senior and Age Group Committees for incorporation into next summer’s meets.

IN RECOGNITION

 Rome Yount has resigned from the Illinois Officials Committee. Rome has served on the committee in many capacities for more years than he wishes for me to mention. He was Officials Chair but made a lasting and overwhelming contribution in two areas. First, he was instrumental in managing and organizing our current processes for certifying officials. In doing so he took many hours of work off the hands of the office staff, as they have to deal with our non-athlete registration, but not our certifications. Second, and more importantly, he has been an important mentor to nearly all of ISI’s current officials, and certainly our most senior officials owe him a great debt.  Eric Peterson of the St. Charles Swim Team was selected to be a starter for the 2020 Olympic Trials. This is a tremendous accomplishment. Eric has been a tireless worker, continuing to work our developmental and championships meets while working a heavy load on national decks. He has also been very giving of his time, teaching dozens of starter clinics throughout Illinois over the last five years, evaluating at our championship meets, acting as Meet Referee at Seniors in 2019 and mentoring literally hundreds of officials.

Safe Sport Chair Report Illinois Swimming September 2019 HOD Report

Safe Sport Updates

~Safe Sport Reports are all being submitted through the center at https://uscenterforsafesport.org/

~Coaches need to make sure 18 and over athletes are completing their APT. Coaches can log into their team portal and look on their athlete roster for completion date.

~Make sure your APT is up to date! It’s now only 1 course instead of 3 separate courses and is on the

LEARN platform.

SSRP

There is going to be a big emphasis this year on teams completing Safe Sport recognition. Starting in 2021 this MAY become mandatory.

● SSRP Update: 3 clubs in Illinois have completed. 46 clubs in Illinois have started. Please let me know

if you need any help getting started or finishing this recognition program. USA Swimming Safe

Sport is working on developing a checklist for clubs to help make the process a little bit easier.

● Within USA Swimming 57 clubs have completed Safe Sport Recognition ● Within USA Swimming 831 clubs have initiated the SSRP process

Athlete/Parent Training

The U.S. Center for SafeSport Youth Athlete Training courses are now live! These FREE resources include courses for children of preschool age; grades K-2; grades 3-5; middle school and high school. These online trainings are designed as an introduction for minor athletes and their parents or other caregivers to understand the importance of positive, welcoming environments in sports, where misconduct like bullying or abuse is less likely to happen, and to know where to report abuse, should it occur. These courses will be

Safe Sport Chair Report Illinois Swimming September 2019 HOD Report

on the USA Swimming Learn Platform soon. It is preferred that athletes and parents still take the course

currently on LEARN so that points will be automatically calculated for SSRP.

Safe Sport Reps

It is highly recommended that each Club should have a Safe Sport rep. It is also recommended that it be a

parent instead of the Head Coach.

Safe Sport Education

USA swimming is working with an organization that has developed 2 curriculums. There is one for boys called Coaching Boys into Men, and one for girls called Athletes as leaders. These are 12 week “courses” that

coaches can do with their swimmers in the hopes of provoking thought and conversation regarding subjects

such as bullying and abuse. Once the program is available and ready to go I will have more information and

ideas on how to implement at the club level if you are interested.

Safe Sport Athlete Committee member Abbey Piech did an awesome job at AG state with a safe sport table

that included a survey for parents/athletes/coaches to fill out and a chance to win prizes (2 Speedo

Backpacks were given away as well as Safe Sport t-shirts and various items). Results of the survey were very positive. It looks like we are as an LSC doing a good job of enforcing safe sport policies at practices and

meets. Keep up the great work!

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Report

Diversity & Inclusion Name Change USA Swimming has officially changed Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI). The addition of the word Equity refers to the fair and respectful treatment of all people. This means that we do everything we can to identify and eliminate unfair biases, stereotypes or barriers that may limit full participation in our education system. A barrier is anything that keeps someone from participating fully in all aspects of society. In education, barriers limit opportunities and successful outcomes. Barriers can be visible or invisible. They can relate to physical factors like inaccessible building features, social factors like cocurricular programs that focus on one area of interest or academic factors such as instruction that accounts for only one learning style.

Illinois Diversity Select Camp Our Illinois Diversity Select Camp will be held in conjunction with the TYR Pro Series meet in Indianapolis. It will be a co-camp with Indiana Swimming. We will be inviting athletes, ages 11-14 to participate. Dates are May 6-9, 2020. More details will be on the Diversity webpage as they become available.

Transgender Change Request USA Swimming has now added a webpage that will allow athletes to request competition categories. The page lists a seven (7) process athletes must take as well as documents needed to complete the process. The website is: www.usaswimming.org/changerequest.

Disability Report:

Our LSC has implemented the new LSC Para Championship time standards for our Illinois Age Group and Senior State Championships. Both events were successful and the athletes enjoyed the opportunity.

Just a couple notes and reminders:

 Entry procedures and event limitations will be posted in the meet packets.  Swimmers will compete in prelims as a timed finals event. Distribution of awards will be up to the meet host.  Official sport class recognition of a swimmers with a disability is not required, however, they must be identified as such on the team’s meet entry. The entry should include the USA Swimming member ID, event number and qualifying time. Entry and qualifying standards are grouped by P1, P2 and P3. The grouping descriptions are: o P1 ‐ non‐ambulatory (wheelchair bound): limited use of all four extremities o P2 ‐ dwarfism, multiple limb deficiencies, ambulatory with assistance, can be wheelchair bound with high functioning upper body. o P3 ‐ single limb deficiencies, visual impairments, intellectual impairments, ambulatory without significant assistance

Convention Updates

OW Nationals and Junior Nationals will be held April 3-5, 2020 in Ft Meyers. It is the FIRST year of the quad for OW!!

Rule Change: OW Zone meets will now use December 31st of that year to determine age. OW is unlike the pool because you must show up to the race to compete you can’t just throw a time down. Therefore we needed to align the ages for Zones with Junior Nationals and Nationals especially for swimmers potentially moving on to international competition.

Nationally over the past year we have added an OW introductory session to all select camps, thank you Andrew Gemmell for the idea! It has been well received among coaches and athletes. We look forward to exposing more swimmers to the wonderful world of OW!

In the upcoming year look for a better and easier sanction process for OW races, more educational opportunities in OW for coaches and a centralized calendar of races.

Pool Plunge

The Pool Plunge is coming back! We will be offering this again from Dec 1 – Jan 15, so plan that into your training plans. Awards have already been ordered so they can go out as soon as the event is over
