Safe Sport
The YMCA and USA Swimming are committed to providing a healthy and positive environment, free from abuse for all its members. USA Swimming’s Safe Sport program, a comprehensive abuse prevention program, consists of a multi-layered approach to keep kids safe, including: required policies and best practice guidelines; mandatory screening, including criminal background checks and employment screening; training and education; monitoring, supervision and mandatory reporting. These measures are informed by experts in the field of child safety and are among the strongest safeguards found in youth-serving organizations.
An essential aspect of the JETS mission is to provide a safe, inclusive environment where kids can learn and have rewarding experiences. This page contains our team's Safe Sport policies, education resources and code of conduct for ensuring a healthy, positive atmosphere. You will also find contact information for asking questions or reporting a concern.
