Dear Club Swimmers/Officers,

UVA, U.Houston, Univ. of Colorado, Central Washington, Miami of Ohio,
Northeastern,
Ohio State, Tulane, Vanderbilt, and others, have grouped together to form the
first
nationwide club swimming league, ASA U., the American Swimming Association
University
League.

Last year we held the first-ever club swimming national championships, which was
reported by national swimming media outlets. This year we will hold the Second
Annual
ASA U. National Swimming Championships, and it will be much bigger and even more
fun
than last year's. Our first league meet this year will be the Colorado Relays
meet on
October 1st at the University of Colorado.

This league is an effort to pool resources and increase opportunities for club
swimming.
We hope you will join us as pioneering teams this year, in our first full year
of operation.

We already have meets on our schedule, and are looking for more clubs to join
and host
meets. Many of you already host great meets, which we would like to help make
even
better this year by having them as part of our league competition.

We are looking for hosts for regional, invitational, and dual meets.

We are asking that teams try to register and submit meet sanction requests by
October 1st
so that we can really get organized this year. All our forms have online
versions now, and
registration fees can now be paid online.

Please visit our website for more information or email me if you have any
questions.

Thanks and have a great schoolyear. I hope to see you all at the pool.

Bridger Bell, President
American Swimming Association University League
