Please, if you are a swimmer or parent report accident immediately to your coach and the Accident report will beimmediately filed by that coach and submitted tothe links above.

It is important that any accident or incident occurrence gets reported immediately to USA Swimming, .  Injured patrons or athletes are expected to report immediately, as are employees who observe an incident.  The form for swim team incidents is directly below:

 Reporting all incidents, no matter how minor, is important to put both USA Swimming, MCAT and its 
insurer on notice of accidents and potential claims.
A Report of Occurrence form should be submitted any time an injury occurs at a USA 
Swimming function, whether or not it involves a USA Swimming member. To 
summarize, injuries involving spectators should also be reported.  The form should be 
filled out by a meet director or by any club personnel responsible at the time of the 
incident; the parents of the injured athlete should not be asked to complete the report 
form.
After receiving the report, USA Swimming National Headquarters enters information 
about the incident into the USA Swimming database for future safety education and 
insurance references.  When a Report of Occurrence form indicating an athlete or non athlete participant is a USA Swimming registered athlete, information about the Excess 
Accident Medical Insurance Policy and claim forms are sent to the injured party(’s) 
family.  This program is excess to other primary insurance in place through the 
member's employment, school or family.  The deductible is the greater of the total of 
other collectible benefits from primary insurance sources applicable to the injury or 
$100 when there is no primary insurance.  
 
The Report of Occurrence forms inform Risk Management Services, Inc. of potential 
claims or liability situations.  If the accident is of a serious nature, USA Swimming 
National Headquarters confers with Risk Management Services and an investigation of 
the incident is initiated.Revised 05/2012
