Gold's Aquatics Club (GAC) is committed to promoting a nurturing and safe environment for its swimmers.
USA Swimming is continually improving the programs and services it offers to its members. One of the most important relates to the safeguards for protecting young athletes. Committed to fostering a fun, healthy, and safe environment for all its members, USA Swimming implemented a comprehensive Safe Sport program to respond to and prevent instances of abuse and misconduct within the sport of swimming. Since 2010, USA Swimming Safe Sport has worked tirelessly to educate members, put policies in place, and empower LSCs and clubs to create the best possible environments for all members.
Full implementation of the Safe Sport Program involves six key components:
- Policies and Guidelines
- Screening and Selection
- Training and Education
- Monitoring and Supervision
- Recognizing, Responding, and Reporting
- Grassroots Engagement and Feedback
