Dimensions of Diversity
United States Master Swimming is made up of people from all walks of life who are joined together by a shared passion and commitment for swimming and health. The mission of USMS and the Diversity Task Force is that everyone has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive. This diagram represents the various dimensions of diversity. To truly be inclusive and welcoming to all, it is critical to understand the many factors that make up and influence an individual. If we hold too narrow a view of what constitutes diversity, we will miss opportunities to effectively engage, connect and serve all USMS swimmers and potential members.
Organizational Dimensions
Organizational dimensions contribute to how we experience our time with USMS. These dimensions help to shape how you or your team approach your connection and outreach to current and potential members.

Dimensions of Diversity (cont.)
External Dimensions
External dimensions include factors that shape who we are as individuals and influence how we connect with others. These dimensions effect how we approach different situations as well as our expectations. In contrast with internal dimensions, many individuals have some control over external dimensions. How does your program cater to these dimensions?
Internal Dimensions
Internal dimensions include six core characteristics that all individuals possess. Each of these characteristics have a direct influence on how we experience the world around us. How does your program cater to these dimensions?
