Our RACE Coaches have taken the proactive step of becoming Safesport Certified. This program ensures swimmers, parents and coaches are educated in the prevention of athlete abuse. To maintain our certification, parents and swimmers 13+ are to complete the brief training by logging in to their USA SWIMMING account HERE. Once logged in, click the top right tab “Education” > Bottom Left tab “Safesport”. The parent course is named Parents Guide to Misconduct in Sport. The 13+ swimmer course is named Optional Course: Safe Sport for Youth Athletes.
