ALTO Receives Safe Sport Recognition in January

In January, Alto Swim Club was recognized as a USA Swimming approved Safe Sport Recognized Club. ALTO is now one of only 138 clubs nationwide to be recognized as a Safe Sport Club.  

Per USA Swimming, the Safe Sport Recognized Club program allows a member club to demonstrate its commitment to creating an abuse-free, safe, healthy, and positive environment for all of its members through the development and implementation of Minor Athlete Abuse Prevention and Anti-Bullying, Safe Sport Best Practices, and Athlete Protection Training. 

 “The program highlights a club’s commitment to going above and beyond in its Safe Sport initiatives,” said Abigail Howard, USA Swimming Associate Counsel & Director of Safe Sport. “We are specifically excited to see how it will expand the education and training efforts to minor athletes and the parents of our athletes.”

ALTO swimmers, parents and coaches underwent training through USA Swimming aimed at creating a safe and positive practice and meet environment for all swimmers. With this, all members of ALTO are committed to making our sport a positive experience for all swimmers.
