Hello AJSC Parents and Swimmers,
WE REALLY NEED YOUR HELP TO MAKE OUR CLUB A BETTER, SAFER, & MORE PROTECTED PLACE FOR OUR MEMBERSHIP TO THRIVE!
USA Swimming has a program called “SAFE SPORT”. USA Swimming is committed to safeguarding
all of its members with the welfare of its athlete members as top priority. Safe Sport is USA
Swimming’s comprehensive abuse prevention program and provides tools for swim clubs to educate
their members and intervene in risky situations.
OUR GOAL, AS A TEAM, IS TO BECOME A “SAFE SPORT RECOGNIZED” CLUB BY USA
SWIMMING. In order to do this, certain requirements must be met. Some of which include
learning exercises for our swim parents and athletes. WE NEED ALL OF OUR SWIM PARENTS
AND ATHLETES TO TAKE A QUICK COURSE ONLINE WITH USA SWIMMING. USA
Swimming will track the number of people who take the quick online training program from our
team and we will be awarded points based on our completion rate. The more parents and
swimmers that participate, THE BETTER!
PLEASE HELP OUR TEAM BY TAKING A FEW MINUTES TO COMPLETE A TRAINING
