SafeSport
A safe environment is part of athlete development.
YBAC is committed to providing an environment where athletes can train, compete, communicate, travel, and grow safely. Our Safe Sport policies establish clear expectations for athletes, coaches, parents, volunteers, and other adults involved with our program.
Minor Athlete Abuse Prevention
USA Swimming’s top priority continues to be keeping our athletes safe. No form of abuse, including child sexual abuse, has a place in our sport. As a part of our continued commitment to safeguarding our athletes, USA Swimming has enacted enhancements to our Safe Sport policy requirements.
The Minor Athlete Abuse Prevention Policy (MAAPP) addresses one-on-one interactions, social media and electronic communications, travel: local and team, locker rooms and changing areas and massages, rubdowns and athletic training modalities. Every USA Swimming club, Zone and LSC is required to implement the MAAPP in full.
