RMSC Designated as USA Swimming Gold Medal Club
ROCKVILLE, Md., February 25, 2010 - Rockville Montgomery Swim Club (RMSC), in its first year of participation in the USA Swimming "2010 Club Excellence Program," has been designated as a "Gold Medal Club," which is the highest level possible.
"It's extremely important anytime you can validate just how good your program is," said Dave Greene, RMSC head coach. "This particular award is only given to a very small percentage of swim clubs in America."
RMSC is a competitive swimming program offered by the City of Rockville and the Montgomery County Recreation Department. The team practices at the Rockville Swim and Fitness Center, 355 Martins Lane, as well as at Montgomery Aquatic Center, Olney Swim Center, Germantown Indoor Swim Center and the MLK Swim Center.
The USA Swimming Club Excellence Program recognizes USA Swimming clubs for their commitment to excellence. The program provides club recognition and grant funding to each of the honored teams. This grant funding enables clubs to expand or enhance their services, and final grant awards will be announced by June 11. As a Gold Medal Club, RMSC is eligible for a grant of up to $10,000.
