Mandatory Reporting
Reporting can be difficult, but it is vital to providing a safe and healthy environment for our athletes. Pursuant to federal law, all adults authorized to interact with minor or amateur athletes who learn of facts that give reason to suspect that a child has suffered an incident of abuse, including sexual abuse, must make a report of the suspected abuse to law enforcement and/or your state's designated agency within 24 hours.
The SafeSport Code for the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Movements and the USA Swimming Code of Conduct establish standards to reporting abuse. This includes where and how quickly you must report any suspected incident of abuse.
