Resources for athlete and parent trainings for Safe Sport Recognition
Club Contacts, This message, regarding Safe Sport certification, is being sent to club contacts. Thank you for forwarding it to the appropriate individuals for your club.
Clubs,
We have many clubs in the LSC with expiring Safe Sport certifications and some teams working on becoming recognized. South Texas Swimming encourages all clubs to become recognized, and certification is a requirement when applying for a sanction to host a meet. The certification status for all clubs is listed here on the South Texas website. If you are in the process of renewing your Safe Sport certification, or becoming certified for the first time, here are a few resources for you to help with the requirement of athlete and parent trainings.
Completing the Courses Using Your SWIMS Account:
These documents explain how to create an account in SWIMS for parents and athletes, which test to take, and where and how to take the test.
- Instructions for Safe Sport Athlete Training for Athletes ages 13-17 - Taking the online SafeSport for Youth Athletes (13-17) course
- Instructions for Safe Sport Parent Training - Taking the online Parents Guide to Misconduct in Sport course
- Click here for instructions on creating a parent account in SWIMS and creating an account in SWIMS for your minor athlete
Taking the Course Online via Zoom:
USA Swimming also offers free webinars for the Athlete, Coach, and Parent training. Click here for the current schedule of upcoming webinars and additional information. Classes and registration links for August are below so you can share them with your team. Individuals can take the online test (links above) or attend one of the webinars (links below). Either one counts for the club's SSRP application and it is not necessary to do both online and webinar.
