Safe Sport is committed to creating a healthy environment that is free from abuse for all members. As we continue with virtual learning opportunities throughout 2021, we will be increasing security measures to keep parents, athletes and coaches safe during trainings. Starting in January, all trainings will require individuals to register ahead of time.
In addition, we have enhanced our Safe Sport Trainings' security measures and will have the following in place:
-
Meetings will be locked
-
Athlete attendees will only have access to chat with hosts
-
Multiple USA Swimming Safe Sport staff will be on all trainings and will monitor participant video share
-
Frequent check-ins with attendees
-
Screen share and annotation capabilities will be disabled
-
Meetings will require registration and athlete training registrations will be cross-checked with USA Swimming member records
-
USA Swimming has enabled the At-Risk Meeting Notifier tool from Zoom. This tool searches the public internet for Zoom meeting information and checks the meeting's security settings. Zoom notifies USA Swimming if a meeting appears to be at high risk for being disrupted. This tool is enabled for all USA Swimming hosted Zoom meetings.
