Orinda Aquatics and Safe Sport/Athlete Protection

Orinda Aquatics takes athlete protection extremely seriously. The coaches and the organization have placed character development and team culture at the very heart of the program since its inception twenty-five years ago. It has been a life mission of the team's founders to help nurture children and young adults in the most positive and emotionally healthy environment possible. This is documented throughout the website from testimonials to athlete and parent letters. We fully support the actions of USA Swimming Safe Sport and the U.S. Center for Safe Sport in the efforts to protect all athletes. Below you will find comprehensive information on athlete protection from Orinda Aquatics and the USA Swimming Safe Sport division.

When making the decision to report a safe sport situation, it can feel intimidating and overwhelming.  We encourage any member - parent or athlete - who has safe sport questions or concerns to utilize the information linked below and/or reach out to: 

  • a Coach
  • a Board Member
  • Orinda Aquatics Safe Sport Coordinator, Mark Chiarucci at [email protected].
