MAC Renews Safe Sport Recognized Club Status

Michael Nordmann

MAC renewed its Safe Sport Recognized Club status from USA Swimming. You've probably noticed the shield we are proudly displaying on our website. Thank you to everyone who made this possible! 

We are committed to providing a safe, healthy, and positive environment here at MAC. This status gives us recognition for our efforts — directly and indirectly from the coaches, athletes, parents, families, and communities. Thank you for that!

HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?

Through USA Swimming's Safe Sport Program, we submitted our Athlete Protection Policies, safeguarding procedures, and educational engagement, including:

  • Our travel, electronic communication, and anti-bullying policies;
  • Our team honor codes and codes of conduct;
  • The processes by which we recruit and train staff;
  • Our communication procedures;
  • And our efforts to educate about Safe Sport, abuse prevention, and healthy boundaries;
  • The USA Swimming Safe Sport staff reviews these items every 18 months.

RENEW AGAIN IN TWO YEARS

Our Safe Sport Recognized status will run for two years, after which time we will be eligible to renew by reviewing all of our policies and procedures again.

Thank you again for your support in helping us achieve this tremendous honor.
