- Impacts all current athlete members who will be turning 18, or are already 18 or older
- Athlete Protection Training (APT) must be completed to be in good standing
- 30 days prior to turning 18, athlete member will receive an email notification to complete APT
- There is no grace period. The training must be completed before turning 18 to stay in good standing.

- Error messages will appear on meet recon reports if athlete member has not completed APT (something like “Athlete has not completed APT”)
- Deck Pass member card will not be available if athlete has not completed APT (the same as it currently works with all other member types who are not in good standing)
- If an athlete’s Deck Pass and/or member record are flagged for not completing APT, they will NOT be able to compete or practice with the team; however, it won’t prevent them from entering a meet
- A link to www.usaswimming.org/learn and www.usaswimming.org/apt will be available on USA Swimming’s website under FOR YOU > Athlete
WHAT DO NON-ATHLETE USA SWIMMING MEMBERS NEED TO DO TO COMPLY WITH THE POLICY? (Non-Athlete members include coaches, officials, chaperons, etc.)
