Safe Sport

The primary purpose of the Coeur d’Alene Area Swim Team is to encourage participation and the pursuit of excellence in swimming. Unfortunately, safety problems can derail this goal and negatively impact lives. This is especially true if the problem could have been prevented. PREVENT, RESPOND and REPORT are three specific actions each person can do. Our athletes will have quarterly training educating them on each of these actions. These actions not only help prevent safety problems, but ensure those which do occur are properly addressed.
