Safe Sport
USA Swimming and Michiana Marlins are committed to providing a healthy and positive environment free from abuse for all its members. Michiana Marlins is committed to building a team culture where all of our athletes are safe, supported and strengthened through the sport of swimming.
USA Swimming’s Safe Sport program, a comprehensive abuse prevention program, consists of a multi-layered approach to keep kids safe, including: required policies and best practice guidelines; mandatory screening, including criminal background checks and employment screening; training and education; monitoring, supervision and mandatory reporting. These measures are informed by experts in the field of child safety and are among the strongest safeguards found in youth-serving organizations.
