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.



2013 EZ Diversity Select Summit
20-23 June 2013  Boston, MA

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.  Make a Splash Local Partner Programs and USA Swimming-registered VSI swim teams are eligible to apply for grant funding.

Virginia Swimming Safety-Gram

Don't forget about safe driving habits!

Swimming safety really starts when the athlete leaves the house and should be in effect until the swimmer arrives home.  Fatigue is a major deterrent to careful driving.  Navigating a new route, severe fog, ice, and driving rain are factors that impede safe driving.  Changing songs on a CD player or radio may lead to a serious accident.  Cell phone use during driving has become a major cause of accidents for many youth.
More on driving and our athletes.

Virginia Swimming strives for Excellence!
We will: 

  • Provide opportunities for swimmers of all abilities to achieve to the highest level of their capability through effective, innovative and inspired events and programs.

  • Support and sustain excellence among all non-athlete members through education, encouragement, and recognition.

  • Embody the highest standards of sportsmanship and, in recognition that swimming is but one part of our existence, promote those values that lead to success in all aspects of life.
