The Leadership Summit brings Indiana Swimming coaches, athlete representatives, club leaders, and RaceBetter together to share practical ideas, strengthen relationships, and leave with practical ideas they can immediately apply within their own clubs.
As the first phase of the Future Forward Performance Education Partnership, Indiana Swimming and RaceBetter are establishing a the foundation for coach development, athlete leadership, collaboration, and long-term organizational growth across the LSC.
Beyond the Leadership Summit, Indiana Swimming and RaceBetter will continue building on that foundation through the Future Forward Performance Education Partnership—creating momentum that extends well beyond September in support of Indiana Swimming’s long-term vision.
Building something bigger than one weekend. The Future Forward Performance Education Partnership gives coaches, athlete leaders, and clubs a shared framework to learn, collaborate, and grow together across Indiana Swimming.
