SPECIAL PROGRAMS

ASSOCIATE MEMBERSHIP

In order to encourage and support the endeavors of other competitive swimming organizations in the National Capital area, Potomac Valley Swimming offers organizational associate membership to those organizations that share our love of the sport and our concern for the well-being of its athletes. Membership entitles other organizations to: use our equipment, attend our clinics, training sessions and workshops, and to receive information and publications from USA Swimming and Potomac Valley Swimming. If you are interested in this program, please contact the Administrative Office for an application.

ATHLETE SCHOLARSHIPS

PVS has established a scholarship program to assure that every PVS athlete is afforded the opportunity to participate in all USA Swimming and PVS programs for which they qualify. Petitions for scholarship should specify the need and should be forwarded to the PVS Administrative Office. Applications will be reviewed by the General Chairman, the Finance Division Chairman, and the Age Group Chairman or Senior Chairman for recommendation to the Board. Recommendations will be made without reference to the individual's identity.

NEW CLUB DEVELOPMENT

Mindful of our responsibility to promote swimming in the National Capital area, we have formulated a new club development program which offers substantial cost reductions and a local resource person to help new USA Swimming clubs. If you are interested, please contact the Administrative Office for details.

SEASONAL MEMBERSHIPS

Since we cherish the vitality of our grass-roots swimming organizations, PVS has established a seasonal membership program (MAY-AUG), which allows clubs of our associate member organizations to join USA Swimming on a seasonal basis. These clubs are thus afforded the liability protection, insurance, and support of USA Swimming on the National level, and Potomac Valley Swimming on the local level. If you are interested in this program, contact the PVS Registrar for details and application.
