SAFE SPORT - Minor Athlete Protection 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. As a part of our continued commitment to safeguarding our athletes, USA Swimming has enacted enhancements to our Safe Sport policy requirements.
The Minor Athlete Abuse Prevention Policy (MAAPP) addresses one-on-one interactions, social media and electronic communications, travel: local and team, locker rooms and changing areas and massages, rubdowns and athletic training modalities. Every USA Swimming club, Zone and LSC is required to implement the MAAPP in full.
As a club, we believe that these policies will help our club, swimmers and parents be more aware and foster an even safer environment for all swimmers. You can learn more about USA Swimming MAAPP on the USA Swimming website and to read the full policy please click the link below.
