USA Swimming Athlete
Protection Training Required for Athletes 18+
- 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.
