CVST's Safe Sport Recognition Up For Renewal

Good Evening CVST Parents and Swimmers,

WE REALLY NEED YOUR HELP TO MAKE OUR CLUB A BETTER, SAFER, & MORE PROTECTED PLACE FOR OUR MEMBERSHIP TO THRIVE!

We, the Carrollwood Village Swim Team, fully endorse and support USA Swimming’s Safe Sport and Safety programs by helping to provide countless resources for our club members on our very own website, www.CVST.org or these resources can also be found at www.usaswimming.org/learn.

OUR GOAL, AS A TEAM, IS TO RENEW AS A “SAFE SPORT RECOGNIZED” CLUB BY USA SWIMMING. In order to do this, certain requirements must be met. Some of which include learning exercises for our swim parents and athletes. WE NEED ALL OF OUR SWIM PARENTS TO TAKE A QUICK COURSE ONLINE WITH USA SWIMMING. USA Swimming will track the number of people that take the quick online training program from our team and we will be awarded points based on our completion rate. The more parents that participate, THE BETTER!  We will be offering a two Group Sessions for our Swimmers to take the Safe Sport Training Class during practices on April 18 & 19th. Please still bring your swim gear as the Classes shouldn't take the entire practice times. Those who do the class on the 18th will swim the entire time on the 19th.

PARENTS, PLEASE HELP OUR TEAM BY TAKING A FEW MINUTES TO COMPLETE A TRAINING EXERCISE THAT WILL HELP TO PROTECT OUR SWIMMERS AND OUR MEMBERSHIP!  SWIMMERS, PLEASE TRY TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE AT PRACTICE ON EITHER APRIL 18 OR 19th TO TAKE THE CLASS.
