DRAFT: 1974 The 8 th Women’s and 47 th Men’s – 3rd Combined National YMCA Swimming and Diving Championship Meet April, 24-27, 1974 Sanctioned by --- National YMCA Swimming and Diving Committee National Council of YMCA’s Hosted by --- Flushing, New York YMCA Once again our National YMCA Swimming and Diving Championship Meet was conducted in the International Swimming Hall of Fame Pool Complex located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This year’s meet was hosted by Flushing, NY YMCA with assistance and guidance from the National YMCA Swimming and Diving Committee. National YMCA Swimming & Diving Committee Report: Chairman James R. Stocker. Much has happened since the Nationals last year. Competitive Swimming is no longer a subcommittee of the Operating Council on Aquatics, but is now its own Operating Council. The Operating Council on Competitive Swimming and Diving relates now to the PEMT (Physical Education Management Team) and will soon relate to the new Aquatic Administrator. We possibly will expand the Competitive Council to have more equal representation from the larger regions, especially now that Region I has been absorbed by the Mid-American and Great Lakes Regions. The official certification and coaches programs are finished and at the printers. These programs were accepted by the Operating Council on Aquatics last September. Since that time, they have been revise, improved and published by the Operating Council on Competitive Swimming and Diving. It is felt in some quarters that eligibility rules need to be revised. The Council and coaches will be meeting during this championship week to determine any rule changes and reorganization of the Nationals program. Again, we take this opportunity to express our gratitude to the Dolfin Corporation for its strong support during the past year. They are doing a great deal for you swimmers at this years Nationals. Express your thanks to them personally. Our thanks also to Goldner Associates for their support and the new medals design. Our Second Newsletter will be forthcoming. We hope to publish it twice yearly. It’s your newsletter – to keep the YMCA swimming fraternity informed. “To be informed is to be involved.” Championship Officials: Honorary Referee: Joseph G.
