What does Safe Sport mean? Across the spectrum of all sports, concerns lie therein where personal boundaries are crossed between peers as well as coach-to-athlete relationships. Las Vegas Swim Club is a Safe Sport Recognized club. This means we have met or exceeded all requirements and protocols set forth by USA Swimming to assure vigilance and proactive, corrective measures if a sign of a reportable event occurs. This helps assure that Las Vegas Swim Club provides a safe place for our young athletes to participate in sport.

We are committed to being "One Team, One Family" by providing a safe, healthy, and positive environment in which our athletes can thrive and grow. The safety of our athletes comes first.
