Step by Step SSRP Process in SWIMS

SAFE SPORT STANDARDS & RESOURCES

  • Clubs will be asked to share their Athlete Protection Policies and other measures they have in place to safeguard athletes.

  • They will also demonstrate how they screen and select staff and volunteers as getting the right people involved is a big part of successfully implementing Safe Sport.

  • Additionally, clubs will be awarded points when minor athletes and parents complete the Safe Sport online courses, as well as hosting in-person Safe Sport related training.

  • They will also detail communication to members about how to report misconduct to USA Swimming Safe Sport and the U.S. Center for SafeSport.

  • Note: Expect approximately 2 weeks for staff to review the application and provide feedback.
