Safe Sport Environments
As a club we also are under an obligation to provide a Safe Sport Environment for our swimmers, and we also suggest that parents of swimmers also hold a current Working with Children Check, for more information and how to apply for a WWCC see the Safe Sport Information HERE.
If you currently hold a valid Working with Children Check, these can be uploaded to your Swim Central account.
