Locker Room Monitoring Procedures
PSC Coaches, PSC swimmers, and the facility’s members all have access to the locker rooms. To ensure safety of our swimmers, before and/or after a practice, a female/male coach may do a quick walk-through of the same sex locker room to look for safety hazards and to ensure swimmers are behaving appropriately.
PSC Locker Room Policies
- PSC Coaches will make every effort to recognize when an athlete goes to the locker room during practice and competition and, if they do not return in a timely fashion, a same-sex coach will check on the athlete’s whereabouts.
- Parents are discouraged from entering locker rooms and changing areas unless it is absolutely necessary. In those circumstances, it should only be a same-sex parent.
- PSC Coaches, PSC swimmers, and the facility’s members all have access to the locker rooms.

Use of Cell Phones and Other Mobile Recording Devices:
- Cell phones and other mobile devices with recording capabilities, including voice recording, still cameras and video cameras increase the risk for different forms of misconduct in locker rooms and changing areas. The USA Swimming Athlete Protection Policies prohibit the use of such devices in the locker room or other changing areas.
Responding to Misconduct and Monitor Problematic Behavior:
- First misconduct: the swimmer/parent will be given a verbal warning
- Second misconduct: the swimmer/parent may lose the usage of the locker rooms for a week
- Third misconduct: the swimmer loses all privileges of using the facility’s locker room

- Keep the locker room clean. Discard all trash and leave the locker room clean
