Competitive Borders

Who do the Killer Whales compete against?

USA SWIMMING:  USS is an organization that has jurisdiction over amateur swimmers in the United States.  Every swimmer must be registered with USS which requires an annual fee.  USS established rules, sanctions competitions, and determines the eligibility of athletes.  USA swimmers are the best swimmers in the United States, and always rank high in world competition.  Our Local Swim Committee (LSC) is Missouri Valley Swimming.  We report directly to Missouri Valley and have many of our competitions with other Missouri Valley teams.
