CWAC Earns Silver Medal Club Status

David Stephens

For the sixth time in program history and for the fifth consecutive year CWAC has earned a silver medal in the USA Swimming Club Excellence Program as one of the 100 best teams in the country (#67).  Now in its 26th year, the program recognizes USA Swimming member clubs for their commitment to athlete performance and excellence. The primary objectives of the program are to recognize and promote:  

  • The development of strong, well-rounded age group and senior swimming programs that produce elite 18-and-under athletes. 
  • Resources to motivate and assist USA Swimming member clubs to achieve the highest athlete performance ideals. 
  • The USA Swimming club development system as an integral part in achieving excellence in the sport.  

USA Swimming member clubs earn points based off athlete performance scores. Each team’s ranking score is based on the FINA Points table, a power point rating system that assigns point values to individual swimming performances based on the Gold, Silver or Bronze time standard. The program annually recognizes the highest-performing clubs in developing athletes aged 18 years and younger.

Congrats to the CWAC swimmers and coaches on this great achievement!
