- HSC Safe Sport Mission Statement:
-
USA Swimming's and Hawaii Swim Club's top priority is the safety and well-being of its members. They strive to better educate and prevent abuse within the sport and to provide the best possible experience for its members, in the safest possible environment.
HSC follows the USA Swimming Safe Sport Best Practice Guidelines
1. Parents should be encouraged to appropriately support their children’s
swimming experience.
2. All swimming practices should be open to observation by parents.
3. Coaches should not initiate contact with or accept supervisory responsibility
for athletes outside club programs and activities.
4. When only one athlete and one coach travel to a competition, at the
competition the coach and athlete should attempt to establish a “buddy” club
to associate with during the competition and when away from the venue.
5. Relationships of a peer-to-peer nature with any athletes should be avoided.
For example, coaches should avoid sharing their own personal problems
with athletes.
6. Coaches and other non-athlete adult members should avoid horseplay
and roughhousing with athletes.
7. When a coach touches an athlete as part of instruction, the coach should do
so in direct view of others and inform the athlete of what he/she is doing prior
to the initial contact. Touching athletes should be minimized outside the
boundaries of what is considered normal instruction. Appropriate interaction
would include high fives, fist bumps, side-to-side hugs and handshakes.
8. Coaches should avoid having athletes as their favorites. They should also
avoid creating a situation that could be perceived as them having favorites.
9. Gift-giving, providing special favors or showing favoritism to individual athletes
is strongly discouraged.
