What is Safe Sport?
Safe Sport is a belief AND system of security to foster a healthy and fun environment to learn sports competition. USA swimming and the Jersey Aquatic Club at the Jersey Aquatic Center are committed to providing an environment that parents know their children are safe to attend. Please see the Minor Athlete Abuse Prevention Policy (MAAPP) and information for parents below:
Safe Sport is a Community Effort
JAC parents are encouraged to participate in your child's swimming interests. By attending practices and meets, you can be a part of a community that provides its youth a great place to learn and grow. Being a part of the swimming community helps everyone feel more welcome and secure!
Speak Out Against Abuse
We highly encourage parents, athletes and volunteers to speak out against any abuse. There is a zero tolerance bullying policy, which the JAC and USA swimming take very seriously.
Safe Sport Training
JAC asks that all parents and athletes complete the requirements of Safe Sport training. Athlete Protection Training helps the swimmer, parent/guardian and coaches understand how to safely maneuver in the competitive aquatic environmert.
