- 4 Safe Sport Fellows,
- 2 Diversity & Inclusion Fellows, and
- 2 Clean Sport Fellows
The USA Swimming Athlete Fellowship is a 13-month leadership development program designed for high school aged athlete members of USA Swimming who wish to gain leadership skills, be more involved in the Safe Sport, Diversity & Inclusion, and Clean Sport movements, and become a liaison between USA Swimming national headquarters and local swim clubs.
Fellows will work closely with USA Swimming staff and fellowship alumni to develop projects to bring these programs to local swim clubs and increase awareness of the Safe Sport, Diversity & Inclusion, and Clean Sport movements. The Fellowship is anchored by three Leadership Institutes, where fellows will have the opportunity to engage in a thoughtful curriculum of leadership development practices and set personal goals.
