We appreciate your continued engagement and attention given to the very important task of ensuring compliance with USOPC Bylaws. Over the last few months, we have communicated and actively engaged with the many USA Swimming stakeholders in an effort to ensure that nothing is missed, and that our membership feels well-informed and is given an opportunity for their voices to be heard.

Following the enactment of the Empowering Olympic, Paralympic and Amateur Athlete Act, which was signed into law by the President on October 30, 2020 and the adoption of the updated United States Olympic and Paralympic Committees Bylaws on October 8, 2020, USA Swimming is required to update its operational policies, bylaws, and rules in order to remain compliant with the USOPC Bylaws and federal law.
