ManualsNote: To fulfill the requirements for USA Swimming's LEAP Level 1 certification a compilation of MNSI policies, rules and regulations were assembled into two manuals. The manuals are linked below. Swim Meets: Rules and Regulations Originally compiled: May 2011 Policies and Procedures Manual Originally compiled: August 2011 Bylaws (restated 9/1/23)MNSI BYLAWS - approved by USA Swimming 4.15.2024 Crisis Management/Disaster Recovery PlanThe MNSI Crisis Management Plan manages the distribution of critical, often sensitive, information to the media, the public, and its members while the Disaster Recovery Plan is designed to insure business continuity by protecting the LSC from threats to its physical assets and IT-disabling disasters. See the plans here. Board of ReviewAs of the 2019 USA Swimming House of Delegates, the Zone Board of Review no longer exists. The National Board of Review (NBoR) now has jursidiction over measures 304.3.1 thru 304.3.16. Article 407 in the USA Swimming Rule Book outlines the NBoR process and procedures. (NOTE: The Bylaws of MNSI do not establish an administrative review board at the LSC level. According to USA Swimming this is optional and must be established by amendment to the Bylaws adopted by the MNSI House of Delegates.) Amateur Sports Act of 1978The Ted Stevens Olympic and Amateur Sports Act of 1978, signed by President Jimmy Carter, establishes a United States Olympic Committee and provides for national governing bodies for each Olympic sport. The Act provides important legal protection for individual athletes. The Act requires that active athletes (defined as amateur athletes who have represented the United States in international amateur competition within the last ten years) must hold 20 percent of the voting power of any board or committee in an NGB. The Act also provides athletes with due process and appeal rights concerning eligibility disputes. Promotions PolicyTo see our Promotions Policy, click here.
