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. As a part of our continued commitment to safeguarding our athletes, USA Swimming has enacted enhancements to our Safe Sport policy and education requirements.

All MACR Swim Team families are required to read and acknowledge compliance with this policy.  A copy of the policy acknowledgement form can be downloaded from this page.  Paper copies will be available in the swimmer crates on the pool deck of the HGN YMCA.

Below you will find educational resources to assist you in understanding and implementing these requirements. Join us in our commitment to do more to keep our athletes safe and abuse out of our sport.
