USA Swimming encourages member clubs to utilize this time away from practice and competition to complete the requirements of the USA Swimming Safe Sport Club Recognition program.
The Safe Sport Club Recognition program allows a USA Swimming member club 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.
This resource is intended to provide guidance on the various remote Safe Sport Club Recognition training options available to athletes and parents while maintaining social distance. For additional information on the Safe Sport Club Recognition requirements, please visit www.usaswimming.org/ssrp.

| Tips & Notes for Participation Join the Zoom early. There is a 500 participant limit and they have reached it before. Join the session for the type of person you are - parent, athlete or coach. Access to the meeting will be closed 5 minutes after the start time. Don't be late! USA Swimming Safe Sport staff will record attendance and manually update the Club Portal. You must attend the full session and complete the attendance survey at the end for your club to receive credit towards Safe Sport Recognition Program (SSRP). Ensure that you have the most current version of Zoom to avoid any issues. This training does NOT replace the Athlete Protection Training (APT) requirements for adult athlete members and non-athlete members for USA Swimming membership. |
