The key aspect to the success of the Safe Sport program is for every member to be vigilant and report any suspicious activity that might be a violation of our Code of Conduct. We simply cannot assume that those being abused will voluntarily come forward, even if given the opportunity to do so in a confidential manner. In order to be successful, it will require your active participation. WTSC is committed to providing a safe environment for all participants. To do so we have athlete protection policies and guidelines in place which follow the recommendations and guidance of USA Swimming's Safe Sport Initiative, as well as the U.S. Center for Safe Sport.
