  • Resources to motivate and assist USA Swimming member clubs to achieve the highest athlete performance ideals;
  • Grant funding to support Gold and Silver status achieving teams; and
  • The USA Swimming club development system as an integral part in achieving excellence in the sport.

18-and-under athletes were eligible to earn points through pool and open-water performances between September 1, 2024, and August 31, 2025. Open water performances from the 5K and 10K at the 2025 USA Swimming Open Water National Championships and the 5K and 7.5K at the 2025 USA Swimming Open Water Junior National Championships are also eligible.
