SafeSport Trainings and Renewal

Eric Holden

The Wilton Y Wahoos are beginning the process of renewing our SafeSport Certification with USA Swimming. The USA Swimming Safe Sport Club Recognition program allows a USA Swimming member club like The Wahoos 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. 

 

Part of this process is having Wahoos parents, swimmers, coaches, and volunteers be properly certified and educated to help create the safest team environment possible. There are TWO WAYS that swimmers and parents can complete their SafeSport Training:

 

OPTION 1:

Register and participate in a USA Swimming Zoom Meeting. Meeting Dates, times, and registration links are below. You MUST pre-register for a zoom meeting to receive credit and participate. 

PARENT TRAININGS

ATHLETE TRAININGS

OPTION 2:

Parents and Athletes also have the option to take the course online! Take it anytime at your own pace. See the links below for step-by-step instructions for parent and athlete online education access.
