Nu Wave Achieves Safe Sport Recognized Club Status

Angele Thionville

Dear Nu Wave Members,

I am pleased to share that Nu Wave has received a Safe Sport Recognized Club status.  We are committed to providing a safe, healthy, and positive environment here on this team, and we have received recognition for all of our efforts to this end.

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.

All of these items were reviewed by USA Swimming Safe Sport staff.  Our Safe Sport Recognized status will run for 2 years, after which time we will be eligible to renew by reviewing all of our policies and procedures again.

Nu Wave board members and coaches are excited to have achieved this milestone and demonstrate our commitment to providing a Safe Sport environment on this team.  Please contact the coaching staff or board members with any questions.

Sincerely,

Angele Thionville

Board President and Treasurer
