CANDIDATE SOUTHERN ZONE NON-COACH DIRECTOR

I am seeking re-election for a second term as the Southern Zone Non-Coach Director.

Email: [email protected] Cell: 205-910-5390

When I ran for this position in 2014, I indicated that I would ask what we can do better. I also said that

the answer to new ideas that “we have always done it this way” was not acceptable if we want to advance the sport. Finally, I indicated that we needed to remain focused on building the base and to think “out of the box” on how to advance our sport.

Over the past two years, John Roy and I have worked together to address various issues that have arisen in various LSCs related to concerns about recruiting, governance or otherwise. We have also worked with the other Zone Directors to learn from each other’s best practices. The Zone Directors have worked together to have a stronger voice for the zones at the board level. In this regard, the zone directors meet face to face prior to each board meeting to discuss issues affecting the zones or important to the organization as a whole. It provided us with the opportunity to share what is going on in our zones since the last meeting and to get input or advice on how other zones handle have handled the same issues. Those face to face meetings also were the catalyst for more calls and emails between Board meetings. As you may be aware, the Board established a LSC/Zone task force to review and make recommendations as to the structure, governance and operations of the LSCs and Zones. Because of our regular meetings, the Zone Directors wanted to provide feedback to the task force on their initial report. I coordinated a face to face meeting with the LSC/Zone task force that included the zone directors, the four zone sport consultants, Pat Hogan and Mike Unger together with the task force members and the outside consultant. We met for several hours so the zone directors could understand the task force’s preliminary findings and to provide feedback and suggestions to the task force.

I also said that another important focus for me on the Board would be the impact on swimming arising

out of various legal matters involving football and basketball and the possibility, no matter how remote, that swimming and other Olympic sports may lose scholarship money that would be reallocated to the football and basketball programs. In this regard, the Board approved a three-year commitment with the College Swimming Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) for the purpose of providing the CSCAA Executive Director, Joel Shinofield with support personnel and services that will allow him to focus his attention on working to protect and preserve scholarship swimming. Since its inception, Joel has visited, called and met with athletic directors and coaches to communicate the value of scholar athletes and our sport to colleges and universities across the country. He has also worked with coaches to provide them with strategies to strengthen their position within their schools. When the ZBOR was established, there was not any instruction manual or training for the chairs or the committees as a whole. I reached out to Lucinda McRoberts, our in-house legal counsel, and asked her to assist in helping these people understand and perform their jobs. As a result of those discussions, Lucinda put together a packet of materials and forms and went to personally meet with each ZBOR chair to provide training and answer questions. All of the zones are greatly indebted to Lucinda for her work on this issue.

Illegal Recruiting

As you may already know, I have authored two pieces of legislation regarding illegal recruiting. Over the past 2 years, the issue John and I have dealt with more than anything else has been complaints of illegal recruiting. In an effort to bring this issue to the forefront and encourage a dialogue on the topic, I authored two pieces of legislation. The first proposes that we completely remove illegal recruiting from the Code of Conduct. One reason is say that competition is good, but then we erect barriers to coaches who may wish to change or start new teams. As a result, we basically put a covenant not to compete in every coach’s contract. This change may also make sense because we have other prohibitive conduct that covers a good number of the situations. Specifically, when a team, coach, parent or athlete is illegally recruiting – many times the conduct also violates the prohibition of Rule 304.3.15 dealing with acts of fraud, deception or dishonesty in connection with any USA Swimming-related activity. They trash the old team, the old coach, and the athletes. In some cases, they oversell, without justification, the (new) team, the coach, etc. Either instance would likely be dishonest.

The second legislation is presented as an alternative and puts into print the penalties that could be assessed if a person is found guilty of illegally recruiting. My perception has been over many years that the ZBORs (and LSC BOR before them which faced this issue) wrestle with what is the proper penalty or consequence if a violation is found. The second legislation puts in writing those potential penalties so that anyone found guilty will be forewarned of the consequences. In my view, the inclusion of the penalties would also act as a deterrent for those who might consider illegally recruiting another team’s athletes.

Ultimately, my purpose in bringing this issue to the forefront is so the HOD can discuss and decide what, if anything should or might be done to the Code of Conduct on this topic. I understand that this legislation has already simulated discussion within the USA Swimming community. I think that is healthy and something we should regularly be doing to ensure we are on the right track and moving forward as an organization.

What is on the horizon? First, we have two important initiatives that will likely come before the Board in the next two years. First, we have the LSC/Zone task force recommendations. I have already had significant involvement in the initiative and will not have to plow new ground. Moreover, I have been in discussions with the other zone directors as we collectively discuss the issues and opportunities. While a key part is adding value to the based through programs and personnel, another key component deals with what the zones would look like if the recommendations were implemented. As we all know, the devil is in the details and my previous as well as future involvement in this topic will be important for our zone. Second, we have another governance study that is about to be underway. It is tasked with reviewing our current Board structure and making recommendation as to any changes that should be considered. As some are likely aware, non-profit boards come in a variety of styles. These include fundraising boards, management boards, representative boards, and governance boards. There has been some debate as to which board fits our particular organization. In some respects, we are a fundraising board since we established the foundation to perform this function, but the directors themselves do not directly engage in funding as a function of our work as directors. In some respects, we are a management board because we do oversee certain operational aspects of the organization. Vice Presidents oversee various committees, zone directors oversee the zones and the athlete directors oversee the athletes. But for the most part, the activities are carried out by the committees and various volunteers working with the directors. In some respects, we are also a representative board, especially the zone and athlete directors who have a constituency who they represent. Lastly, we are a governance board since we set policies, approve the budget and oversee the audit of the organization. But the real challenge, and one I believe strongly we need to address to move into the future, is whether we “keep doing things the way we always have” or do we change how things “work” today so that we are better positioned for the next 20 years.

I believe my leadership concerning the networking of the zone directors and the relationships built as a part of that effort puts me in position to address the things to come – both known and unknown. I believe my experience, skill and knowledge as an attorney has and will continue to bring value to the board, especially when issues as to liability or the risks associated with a decision come into play. I believe my many years of involvement from the club level to the national Board provides me with the background and appreciation of the needs at every level of our sport. I also believe my involvement while working as an official on the international deck for the past 8 years also gives me a perspective and insight as to the global facets of our sport and the issues and politics that come into play. Accordingly, I am asking for your vote in the upcoming election. I promise to continue to “think outside the box” and continually ask myself what can do better to advance our sport.

2017 SZ Diversity Swim Camp and Summit

About the USA Swimming 2017 Southern Zone Diversity Camp and SummitThe Southern Zone will host our 3rd ever Diversity Select Camp and Summit in an effort to identify the emerging young diverse athletes from under-represented populations in the sport from each LSC and offer them a unique motivational and educational experience. The Zone Diversity Select Camps are viewed as an integral step for athletes to move from the local and Zone level onto to the national scene. Athletes from underrepresented populations would participate in a three-day camp program, which includes pool training, motivational, and education sessions and team-building activities.

Purpose: Celebrate the opportunities of/for diversity in swimming in the Southern Zone through inspiration of athletes, coaches and volunteers. Create local ambassadors and leaders to grow our sport.

Goals: Empower athletes from ethnically under represented populations and their coaches to: • Demonstrate the viability of multicultural success in swimming within their local LSC • Achieve performance excellence throughout the sport • Introduce the benefits and value of participating in the sport of swimming • Develop positive leaders and role models that others from multicultural backgrounds can

emulate • Connect, network and promote the virtues of the sport of swimming through a

comprehensive strategy involving the athletes and the LSC Diversity Chairs in their own local LSCs and throughout the Southern Zone.

Attendees: 45 athletes (15+ boys / 15+ girls) ages 13-16 years olds (at least 1 male and 1 female from each zone) along with the LSC Diversity Chairs are invited to attend.

Dates and Location: June 15 - 18, 2017 in Charolette, NC at the Mecklenburg County Aquatic Center. Athletes, coaches and volunteers will be housed on campus in hotels. We will have 3 Long Course sessions and 2 Short Course sessions for the campers. Meals will be catered on-site or by a local national catering company or hotel. Athletes and Diversity Chairs will arrive Thursday (June 15) early to late afternoon and depart Sunday (June 18) morning.

Invitees: • 3 athletes (at least 1 male and 1 female) from each of the 15 LSCs in the Southern Zone • 1 Diversity Chair from each LSC (if Diversity Chair cannot attend a chaperone needs to

attend with USA Swimming Background certified)

We did well achieving our target to develop our referees. Most of the meet referees, were first time

meet referees at this level with appropriate experience and backup. I would like to encourage the LSCs

to continue using these meets as development opportunities for officials in the section/zone. Officials

who have successfully served in the positions at LSC championship meets and are ready to expand their

experience should be selected to serve with experienced officials to ensure a good experience for our

athletes while developing the next generation of officials.

Zone Official Chairs

Last year, we changed our By-laws so the Official’s chair is now appointed along with an Assistant Chair.

The assistant Chair is Frank Swigon, from Florida. We have not made any changes in the process to date,

but Frank has arranged a meeting of the Zone official’s chairs at convention to determine how we can

improve the process in each zone including improving the sign up process for sectionals and zones.

This year most LSCs in the Southern Zone saw a decrease in the number of officials with the particular

exception of Gulf which saw an increase of 25%. I feel that each LSC has a sufficient number of officials

to serve our athletes, but we need to ensure that we do not burn out our officials and continue to

develop the next generation. Kentucky continues to have the highest ratio of officials to athletes of any

LSC in the country, but the Southern Zone has a lower ratio than the national average and decreased

this year. With the expected Olympic bump in the number of athletes, each LSC official’s committee

needs to set a goal to attract more officials to ensure the continued success of the meets in our zone.

The challenge to grow our officials is not only the responsibility of the official’s committee in each LSC,

but to each team. Our zone tends to be number one in most categories, let’s see if we can grow our

officials!

To accomplish this, in-person, one-on-one surveys were undertaken at the Zone Championship, conducted at MyBackyardPool in Austin, Texas. There were different, but overlapping versions of the questionnaire,

based on the audience being interviewedbased on the audience being interviewed. All ratings were made on a 1-10 scale, with 1=Poor and 10=Exceptional. All ratings are presented as mean averages.

Executive Summary(2 of 2)

However, like any meet, there are things that could be improved upon to make this meet even better: More warm-up space is needed. And this space needs to be better

monitored. Many swimmers and coaches think time trials should be added to this

meet. Many thought there were issues with MyBackyardPool: Blocks were old-fashioned, with no fin.Blocks were old fashioned, with no fin. There were no backstroke ledges.

Hospitality was inferior. Finals were too long. In particular, steps should be taken to shorten awards ceremonies,

especially since they were considered “boring.” While the inclusion of disabled swimmers was universally applauded,

some were concerned that separate heats for disabled swimmers added too much time to Finals.

regarding the disabled athletes. a) Each team can bring 6 athletes – 3 female / 3 male b) Swim in prelims with their age group seeded by time c) Swim in finals as a separate event prior to that event

i) Can be combined to swim female and male together in finals to save time – at the discretion of the meet ref.

d) Disability swimmers will be scored, based on the number of disability swimmers in that particular event, as follows: Five athletes (6, 4, 3, 2, 1); Four athletes (5, 3, 2, 1); Three athletes (4, 2, 1); Two athletes (3, 1); One athlete (2).

e) Classifications i) Why do we have this? Does each classification get scored separately within each event? i.e.

50 Free Visually Impaired, 50 Free Hearing Impaired…. ii) Committee recommendation – remove all classifications

2) Removal of 15-18’s from meet – this was discussed and all teams realize that even with the hard times of finding athletes to attend, the leadership and experience they provide is still there and removing them will change the level of the meet.

3) Selection process for each LSC – if all LSC’s can please e-mail their selection process to Brandon Allenstein at [email protected] he will compile and share to all LSC’s.

4) Awards – a) Always an issue of taking too long – announcer needs to be quicker and not wait for athlete to

get there. b) Award stand placement – could not see from across pool because people were in front of award

stand c) Order of events / placement of award ceremony in program recommendations:

i) Tuesday (1) Swim 400 / 800 / 1500 Free (2) Swim Mixed 200 Free Relay or Mixed 200 Medley Relay (Alternate by year) (3) Award 400 / 800 / 1500 Free and Mixed 200 Relay at social Tuesday evening

5) Chase starts – a) Voted to have this required but is this actually possible for this time of year with all the other

meets going on? 6) Does the meet host create a “Theme” for the meet – if so, communication to the teams regarding

this “Theme” 7) Event Order –

a) Move the 11-12 100 Free to Thursday b) Add Mixed relays to Tuesday

i) Odd Years – Mixed 200 Free Relays ii) Even Years – Mixed 200 Medley Relays

mailto:[email protected]

8) Overall a) Very nice meet b) Small air quality issues in mornings and by warm-up pool c) Social

i) Very nice social with lots of food – variety and healthy ii) Nice to watch movie – hard to hear with talking, could not really be social

d) Officials – very nice and swimmer focused e) Facility – no issues

9) See ya next year in Tupelo Mississippi August 1-5, 2017

Proposal for 2017 Southern Zone Age Group Meet Brian Haddad Southeastern Swimming

Propose the following changes to the Southern Zone Age Group Meet:

1) Athlete Reorganization a. Remove 15-18 age group from meet b. Allow for 12 Girls and 12 Boys in both the 11-12 and 13-14 age groups (keeps 48 total) c. No changes for Disability athletes

2) Add scoring B Final for all Individual Events 3) Add B Relays for 200 meter Relays 4) Move the 11-12 100 Free from Friday to Thursday

a. Balances schedule for 11-12 swimmers to 1-3-2-2-3 events per day rather than current 1-3-1-3-3

Basic Rationale: There has been an explosion of Long Course meet opportunities for swimmers typically in the 15-18 age range in the Southeast. These swimmers now have the ability to compete at meets such as Sectionals (multiple sites), NCSA, Futures, ISCA, Senior Zones, and occasionally the American Long Course Meet. These opportunities are great for our older athletes. I would like to see us open more opportunities for the developing 11-14 year old athletes. Based on my experiences with the Zone Meet over the past 14 years, I have noticed two things: 1) We have quite a few really good 11-12 and 13-14 swimmers who do not qualify for our zone teams due to limited numbers while we often have to beg and plead for 15-18 swimmers 2) The 11-12 and 13-14 swimmers who attend this meet gain a tremendous swim meet and travel opportunity for their long term development often resulting in assisting their future high performance. I would like to expose more 11-14 athletes to this opportunity since it is really the only one available to these age swimmers.

Timeline Impacts:

• Should shorten morning timeline a little due to fewer events and higher percentage of swims being shorter events.

• Will add a few heats to finals due to adding B Finals. Best guess on additional heats at night would be: Tuesday – don’t have data but would have to shorten; Wednesday +2 heats; Thursday +2 heats; Friday +6 heats (with B relays added); Saturday +10 heats (with B relays added)

2016 Senior Zone Championship Report By Jimmy Parmenter

To answer the question that was the major concern of everyone going into the 2016 Sr. Zone Championship meet, August 2-6. Air Quality: The ventilation system has be repaired. The people from Tupelo took care and fixed the problem. They added more ventilation outlets and fans. I spoke to several coaches that had attended the Age Group Zone meet in 2015. They all agreed it was much better this year than the previous year. Meet Facts: 26 Teams Total 184 Athletes 142 Relays 1020 Individual Swims 15 Meet Records Broken - See attachment New Records in red. Girls Team Champions: First Colony Swim Team Boys Team Champions: TeamFins Combined Team Champions: First Colony Swim Team Summary: 1. Continue support of this meet – offers great opportunity for senior level athletes to train and race through August each year. 2. Mixed Relays were a hit with athletes. 3. Use the National 15-16 AA as time standards. 4. Make no other changes. 5. Tupelo ventilation system has be repaired. Closing: Tupelo did an excellent job hosting and running a great meet for all the athletes.

OPEN WATER REPORT

On June 3-5. On Fort Myers Beach, Florida, the Southern Zones Open Water Championship was held. Holding an OW event in the Gulf in June is always a challenge when it comes to water temp., and weather. This year the weather Gods had their way. The S.E. zone team, NC Zone team, Florida team, Gold Coast Team, Georgia Team, Kentucky Team, South Texas Team, and Louisiana Teams combined brought in over 250 swimmers for the 3 days of completion.

Friday PM kicked off with mixed age group relays. These races were not scored and done as an exhibition event. Swimmers seemed to enjoy the approximately 100 yard out and back course. Unfortunately, ½ way through the boys event weather came in and the relays were halted.

Saturday A.M. was to be the start of the 2.5 and 5K races. However, weather issues led coaches and race administrators to switch the 5K races to 2.5 and the 2.5 to 2K. All races were held as the weather held out and water temps remained below the maximum. Saturday evening a team Bar B Q was held beach side.

Sunday A.M was Team Pursuit Day. Unfortunately, over the evening a tropical front decided to sit right off the coast. While weather allowed the races to go on, it was once again decided to shorten the distances for all races. Shortening the course and distance actually made the race more interesting as spectators were able to see the entire race which was held in 3 ft seas. The weather held out and all races were completed, but not more than 3o minutes later a major storm came in.

NC Swimming and Sandhills Sandsharks ProposalSouthern Zone Open Water Championships

June 2-4, 2017Seven Lakes, NC

Proposal:NC Swimming and the Sandhills Sandsharks are interested inhosting a Southern Zone Open Water Championship at LakeEcho, Seven Lakes, NC.Rationale and Considerations:

Venue• Our venue and water temperature have consistently met all

requirements since 1999.• We already host Open Water meets on the weekend of the

first Saturday in June and the weekend of the first Saturdayafter Labor Day in September at this venue.

• We are located in a resort area; Pinehurst, NC (home of theUS Open Golf tournament) offers exceptional services forvisitors and easily caters to events such as this one.

• We piloted the Zones race in 2015 and have continued torun NC Open Water Champs and Select Camp for NC andSC OW swimmers. Our Experience

• We host two Open Water meets per year; one is our LSC’sState Champs; the other is part of Open Water Select Campfor swimmers from North Carolina and South Carolina.

• We have hosted Zones in the past, including in 2015.• Our June meet has grown from 40 to over 600; we easily

accommodate hundreds of swimmers.• NC Swimming and Sandhills Sandsharks also host Open

Water Select camp at Lake Echo for top North Carolina andSouth Carolina swimmers.Format

• Three day meet option: teams who want clinics and a multi-day meet can come for the weekend; those who want justthe main races can come for Saturday only.

• A three- day format (to include a Friday night 1K, OpenWater Clinic, and Sunday 2K Team Pursuit).

• We will run, concurrently, NC Open Water Champs, withZone races given scheduling priority. Other swimmers(siblings, even parents) can race in the NC OW Champs,which range from a 400M to 5K races.

• June dates fit well with training schedules and ensure thatall LSC’s can get their OW swimmers prepared for therace.

• Our LSC is home to 3 National Championship/OlympicOpen Water swimmers who assist with Open Water clinicsand who may be able to attend.
