Safe Sport
USA Swimming is firmly committed to the safety and well-being of all athletes. Any form of abuse including child sexual abuse is unacceptable and has no place in our sport. As part of our ongoing dedication to athlete protection, USA Swimming has strengthened its Safe Sport policy requirements with new enhancements designed to further safeguard our members.
The Minor Athlete Abuse Prevention Policy (MAAPP) addresses one-on-one interactions, social media and electronic communications, travel: local and team, locker rooms and changing areas and massages, rubdowns and athletic training modalities. Every USA Swimming club, Zone and LSC is required to implement the MAAPP in full.
