The following proposed legislation will be voted on at the 2022 Fall HOD.  Please take some time to review the legislation prior to the House of Delegates meeting on Sunday, Oct 2, 2022.

To help streamline the voting process, a review of the proposed legislation will be held at 2:00 pm on Saturday, Oct 2 at the McKimmon Center. Those with questions or concerns on the proposed legislation are strongly encouraged to attend in person or via ZOOM, using this link: Legislative Review Meeting.

If you can’t attend, please discuss your position with board members prior to the review meeting. Hopefully, this will reduce discussion on the legislation at the HOD meeting on Sunday.

AJCC has been highlighted as a Safe Sport Recognized Club with a banner on its team listing in the USA Swimming Find-a-Team Search and will receive a medallion for their club’s website as well. Clubs can apply for the Safe Sport Recognized Club program through their Club Portal on the USA Swimming website.  Here’s a link to the Safe Sport Recognized Club program information: https://www.usaswimming.org/ssrp
