The Y of Metro North Tritons strive to make your Swimmer’s safety and protection our highest priority. By working together as Coaches, Swimmers, Parents, and Volunteers we can ensure all USA swimming and YMCA members are supported in a safe and encouraging environment both in and out of the pool.
The YMCA of Metro North PROHIBITS ABUSE or MISTREATMENT OF YOUTH and enforces its policies and practices to prevent child abuse. Allegations or suspicions of child abuse are taken very seriously at the YMCA and will be reported to the proper authorities for investigation. We have abuse reporting procedures, there are unscheduled visits from supervisors, we have an open door for parents, and we have a code of conduct for staff, volunteers, and members. We minimize opportunities for abuse to occur and we talk with children about personal safety and touching limits. We also screen carefully to prevent abusers from being hired and we provide child abuse prevention training to staff and high access volunteers.
