USA Swimming Safe Sport Zoom Trainings

1. Starting April 2020, the USA Swimming Safe Sport staff has been hosting Zoom trainings for parents, minor athletes and coaches to assist clubs in completing the Training and Education requirement of the Safe Sport Club Recognition program.

• Please see the upcoming training schedule below which will also be communicated via email, newsletters, and social media.

2. Attendance at these sessions is limited to 500 participants. The training session will be secured five minutes after starting.

3. USA Swimming Safe Sport staff will record attendance and manually update the Club Portal.

Virtual Team Meeting

USA Swimming member clubs are seeking unique opportunities to remain connected with athletes and parents. One unique way to remain connected and complete the training component of Safe Sport Club Recognition is to host a virtual training.

1. Schedule a virtual meeting for either parents or athletes to attend.
   
2. Visit https://www.usaswimming.org/; Click on “Login/Register” to log in to your account.
   • Next click on “Education” in the blue toolbar. 
   • Select Course Catalog.
   • Select “Safe Sport Courses.”
   • Select “SSRP.”
     • For a parent training, select Parent’s Guide to Misconduct in Sport.
     • For an athlete training, select Safe Sport for Youth Athletes (13-17). 
     • For young athlete training, select SafeSport for Kids (5-12).
3. Conduct a virtual meeting with athletes or parents by sharing your screen and viewing the training course together. When you share your screen, ensure that you also share the sound from your device so those watching can hear the training audio.  
   
4. Record attendance. A simple way to do this is to have participants send their name to the training host using a chat function.
   
   
5. Send the attendance record to ssrp@usaswimming.org. USA Swimming staff will manually update the Club application. (athletes will not receive a certificate and it will not be recorded on their individual accounts.)
   
   

Reminder: A virtual meeting with minor athletes is an electronic communication and the Minor Athlete Abuse Prevention Policy requirements apply:

• If you are meeting with only one athlete, that athlete’s guardian/parent must also be included.
• If you are meeting with multiple athletes, another adult must also be included.
• The meeting must be held between the hours of 8:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.
