Congratulations Trevor Freeland, Mike Norment, and Byron Davis!

USA Swimming has announced the formation of two new committees focused on providing strategic guidance to USA Swimming staff and other sport leaders with regard to equity, diversity, and inclusion.

The first group, the Black Leadership in Aquatics Coalition (Team BLAC), is comprised of a group of past and present US national team swimmers and has a mission of being “the aquatics leaders of the Black voice and to impact the sport of swimming through exposure, resources, and mentorship.”

The second group, called the DEI Council will consist of members of the US swimming community and will serve to “bring together a group of diverse individuals to consult, deliberate and provide strategic DEI feedback to USA Swimming.”
