This is our annual in-person training which is a great way to complete your mandatory Safe Sport training (required of all USA Swimming Parents and 13 + year old Athletes). Reminder: all PST families are required to have at least one parent/guardian and all athletes 13 & up complete USA Swimming Safe Sport training every year
