Background Checks
Non-athletes have a 30-day grace period in which to
initiate their BGC renewal after their current BGC expires.
If they renew within that grace period, they can do it for $19.
Once the 30-day grace period has expired, however, coaches and
officials will have to start over and initiate the $39 BGC
again.

Learn-to-Swim Program
The
mission of Virginia Swimming’s
Learn-to-Swim program
is to raise awareness of the need
and to provide the motivation,
systems, and tools to waterproof our
community so that all children have
basic swimming skills and are safe
around the water.
Virginia Swimming will invest in
grants for learn-to-swim and water
safety programs geared towards young
people who otherwise would not have
the opportunity to participate in
such programs.
