SAFE SPORT FOR PARENTS & SWIMMERS
KEEPING ATHLETES SAFE IN SWIMMING
USA Swimming's top priority continues to be keeping our athletes safe. No form of abuse, including child sexual abuse, has a place in our sport. USA Swimming is committed to reducing the risk of abuse in swimming and increasing awareness of red flag behavior through its Safe Sport program. All adults working with athletes are responsible for creating an abuse-free environment.
Both Parents and Swimmers are strongly encouraged to complete the online courses and training.
