Life Time Oregon Swim Team Weekly Update: 5.28.2024

Danny Weinberg

 

Hello Swim Team!

I hope you all had a great holiday weekend!  We are looking forward to a great final week of May before our summer swim team begins in June!  

Help us get Safe Sport Recognized (PLEASE READ: USA Team):

Thanks to the several athletes and parents who completed the Safe Sport training.  We would still like all of our parents and 13&O athletes to complete this training.  Please read the information below for more details.  

We are in the process of getting our team Safe Sport recognized.  This is an important recognition that confirms our commitment to creating a healthy and safe environment for our athletes. Here’s more information from the USA swimming website: “The USA Swimming Safe Sport Club Recognition program allows a USA Swimming member club to demonstrate its commitment to creating a healthy and positive environment free from abuse for all its members through the development and implementation of club governance measures, Safe Sport policies and reporting mechanisms, Safe Sport best practices and training to athletes and parents.”

The final step to receive our recognition is for all parents and swimmers who are 13&O to complete a short online training course. Some of you may have received an email from Patricia Kerrigan, Life Time’s National Aquatics Program Coordinator last week which detailed this.  You can access the information HERE.  

Thanks for helping us complete this recognition and continuing to create a healthy and safe environment for our athletes!

Swimmers 13 and under must be supervised by an adult not affiliated with Life Time staff if they stay on the deck outside of practice times.
