USA SWIMMING
"Minor Athlete Abuse
Prevention Policy"
&
Athlete Protection Training
Required for Athletes 18+
(effective June 23rd
2019)
Starting June 23rd 2019 the Vallejo Aquatic Club will be adopting
the new USA Swimming Policy for both
"Minor Athlete Abuse Prevention Policy" and
the
"Athlete Protection Training for Athletes
18+".
The Minor Athlete Abuse Prevention
Policy must be reviewed and agreed to in writing by all athletes,
parents, coaches and other non-athlete members of the Vallejo
Aquatic Club. This
written agreement will be retained by the club and
renewed on an annual
basis per USA Swimming policy.
More Information on Both Policy Changes:

Starting June 23, 2019, all adult athletes (age 18+) will be required to complete the USA Swimming Athlete Protection Training. Previously, this requirement did not extend to 18+ year old athlete members. This training and education requirement is not a part of the Minor Athlete Abuse Prevention Policy (MAAPP). As a membership requirement, adult athletes who are currently 18 and older must complete this training by June 23rd. Those who are 17, about to turn 18, must complete this training by their 18th birthday. Successful completion the training, on an annual basis, is now a membership requirement of adult athletes, and failure to complete it will result in an athlete’s inability to swim in a meet or at practice. This is the same membership requirement for all non-athlete members.
