  • National Swim Officials Committee
  • National Eligibility Committee
 
Athlete representatives also meet monthly as part of the YMCA Swimming Athlete Council, which provides leadership development, communication and learning opportunities. Each representative will also interview their YMCA's CEO and will create and execute a project that meets a need in their community.
 
Athletes must be in 11th or 12th grade and have participated in a YMCA competitive swimming program for at least three (3) years.  Athlete representatives serve one (1) year terms, which may be renewed once.
