Safe Sport
USA Swimming is committed to safeguarding all of its members, with the welfare of athlete members as the top priority. Safe Sport is USA Swimming's abuse prevention program, and it gives clubs the tools to educate members and step in when something is not right.
Race Swami Belle Haven fully endorses and supports USA Swimming's Safe Sport and Safety programs and the Minor Athlete Abuse Prevention Policy. As coaches, parents and volunteers, we are all responsible for protecting our young athletes.
