This can be done by logging into the website where you should be prompted to acknowledge the outstanding agreements/forms. If you haven’t been into the website in the past few weeks, please log in to sign these forms. If you have any questions, please let me know.
SAFE SPORT: USA Swimming Safe Sport staff is hosting Zoom training for parents AND minor athletes to assist clubs in completing the Training and Education requirement of the Safe Sport Club Recognition program.
