Athlete Protection Training for USA Swimming Members

 

Athlete Protection Training is provided through the U.S. Center for SafeSport. The required courses are found through a member's USA Swimming login in the Education area.

All new and existing adult members of USA Swimming, including adult athletes, and junior coach members must have satisfactorily completed athlete protection education as required by the U.S. Center for SafeSport.

New members will be required to have their application form and payment processed by their LSC registrar before they can sign in to complete the course.

This certification is required for all new and existing members, including coaches, officials, chaperones, meet directors, and adult athletes. If you have registered with USA Swimming for the first time, this is the course you need to take.

The course is free of charge and, upon completion, should update in your membership record within 24 hours. Initiate the course by entering your information in the boxes below.
