Minor Athlete Abuse Prevention Policy (MAAPP).  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. USA Swimming is committed to reducing the risk of abuse in swimming and increasing awareness of red flag behavior through its Safe Sport program. All adults working with athletes are responsible for creating an abuse-free environment.  As part of the Safe Sport policy, SSC has developed our own Minor Athlete Abuse Prevention Policy.  All families need to acknowledge that they have received and have understood our policy.  Please fill out and return the attached acknowledgement form (via email or hard copy) to Coach Connie.
