WHAT IS BULLYING?
The USA Swimming Code of Conduct defines bullying in section 304.3.7.  Bullying is the severe or repeated use by one or more USA Swimming members of oral, written, electronic, or other technological expression, image, sound, data, or intelligence of any nature (regardless of the method of transmission), or a physical act or gesture, or any combination thereof, directed at any other member that to a reasonably objective person has the effect of:

  1. Causing physical or emotional harm to the other member or damage to the other member’s property;
  2. Placing the other member in reasonable fear of harm to himself/herself or of damage to his/her property;
  3. Creating a hostile environment for the other member at any USA Swimming activity;
  4. Infringing on the rights of the other member at any USA Swimming activity; or
  5. Materially and substantially disrupting the training process or the orderly operation of any USA Swimming activity (which for the purpose of this section shall include, without limitation, practices, workouts, and other events of a member club or LSC).

Generally, bullying is the use of aggression, whether intentional or not, which hurts another person.  Bullying results in pain and distress.
