Safe Sport: Required training

Reminder that all families (one parent/guardian and all 13 and older swimmers) must complete their Safe Sport training each season. This training will help you and your swimmer understand the importance of a safe and positive team culture. This also helps PST to retain our Safe Sport designation.

 

Make sure your swimmer is connected to your USA Swimming account. This will ensure you get credit for completing the adult and/or athlete training. Parents add their athlete to their account by clicking on the + icon. You need your athlete’s membership ID#. 

  • To complete your training online via USAswimming.org:
  • After logging into your USA Swimming Account, click on “Education” in the top right
  • For parents, click on the “Parents/Volunteers” button at the top, then choose SSRP, and then “Parents Guide to Misconduct in Sport”
  • For athletes: click on the “Safe Sport” button at the top and choose the appropriate course “Safe Sport for Youth Athletes (13-17)” or “Safe Sport Training for Adult Athletes” for swimmers 18 and older
