Please and read the Midlakes Swim & Dive Safe Sport Program Agreement in its entirety, as scribed below:

Midlakes Swim & Dive is committed to ensuring all participants have a fun and safe environment to compete. Participant safety is our priority, and this agreement serves as a proactive measure to protect all participants from inappropriate behaviors. Therefore, to be eligible to participate in the 2023 Midlakes Swim & Dive season, all parents and participants must agree to the following terms. 

1. Physical, mental, and verbal abuse of any of the participants, coaches, managers, employees, parents, and volunteers involved in our sponsored activities is not permitted. 
2. Inappropriate touching of any kind is forbidden. 
3. There will be more than one adult working at or overseeing every activity. If a child needs special attention (one-on-one training or an individual meeting), it will be handled with the assistance or presence of another adult. 
4. Coaches/trainers should not ride alone with a child or participant in the car. Procedures will be established by each club for coaches to follow in the event a participant is stranded at an activity. 
5. Photographs from behind swimming blocks or exhibit a child climbing out of the swimming pool are not permitted. 
6. Phones and photography are prohibited in locker‐rooms and/or bathrooms. 
7. Action shots are to be a celebration of the sporting activity and not a sexualized image in a sporting context. 
8. Action shots cannot be taken or retained where the photograph reveals a torn or displaced swimsuit. 
9. All parents, swimmers, and participants agree to complete a free SafeSport training in order to be eligible for the Midlakes Swim & Dive 2023 season. Your swimmer will not be allowed to participate in swim team practices until SafeSport Training Certification has been completed by each swim team member and at least one if not both parents who will be volunteering throughout the season.
10. If you have current SafeSport Certification from another sport, please reach out to: [email protected] and let us know so we can find your certification and mark it complete.
