Report of the National YMCA Competitive Swimming & Diving Council: C. Eugene Keltner---Chairman

In the fiscal year 1976-77 the Council has endeavored to bring to the attention, of those YMCA’s

involved in competitive swimming and diving, the need for more dedicated lay volunteers not just as

officials or coaches but as volunteers who will help search for grass-roots swimmers and involve them in

our competitive programs. We have told our Y’s that we need people who will stay with us all their lives

and make their work so meaningful that their contributions will be passed on through teaching and values

education to youth enrolled in our programs. We want them to learn that there is a value, not just in

winning, but also in training to win and in the disciplines that they must adopt for that training and

winning.

The Executive Committee of the Council communicates every day with one or more YMCA’s, trying to

help them meet their needs. The Committee finds that we need to develop more people to represent the

YMCA at the regional level.

We have welcomed the cooperation of many people in government, hotel/motel management, swimming

pool corporations, etc., who have assisted us in achieving outstanding success with our ever-growing

National Championships. Thanks to them, our coaches, officials, and our wonderful young swimmers and

divers, the National YMCA looks forward to a fabulous future.
