TrueSport, a movement powered by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), is pleased to announce that it will be attending the 2016 U.S. Olympic Team Trials – Swimming in Omaha, Neb., from June 26 – July 3, 2016 as part of its USA Swimming Deck Pass partnership.
TrueSport will work directly with USA Swimming to deliver an interactive booth experience in the Aqua Zone at the CenturyLink Convention Center in downtown Omaha. The booth will offer several activities for fans and families of all ages, including a scavenger hunt across the Aqua Zone and a photo booth with oversized props highlighting teamwork and nutrition.
While competing for limited-edition Rio-themed prizes, participants will learn about TrueSport Deck Pass lessons. Attendees will even be able to meet three-time Olympic swimmer and TrueSport Ambassador, Peter Vanderkaay, who will sign autograph cards and lead a TrueSport activity. Parents and coaches will also have an opportunity to explore TrueSport, its various resources and its values-based education programs.
“We are thrilled to be working alongside USA Swimming to deliver the TrueSport experience to thousands of youth athletes, parents and coaches at the 2016 U.S. Olympic Team Trials – Swimming,” said Lisa Voight, TrueSport business development manager. “Our partnership with USA Swimming has helped us make a positive impact on youth sport and swim communities across the country, and our presence in Omaha will help us reach even more youth competitors.”
Deck Pass users will be able to earn limited-edition TrueSport patches by completing activities, video lessons and quizzes in USA Swimming’s Deck Pass app. With the app, users can develop the skills needed to succeed both in and out of the pool as they complete exciting activities about nutrition, leadership, goal-setting and decision-making.
“Over the past two years, we’ve had great success with our Deck Pass TrueSport partnership creating a positive culture for our USA Swimming membership through the TrueSport lessons,” said Jim Fox, USA Swimming marketing director.
