Safe Sport Training & Education

At TC Falcons Swim Club, the safety and well-being of our athletes are a priority. We encourage all athletes, parents, coaches, and volunteers to understand their roles in maintaining a safe, respectful, and supportive swimming environment.

ℹ️ Important Dashboard Notice Training requirements and course names may change. Please refer to your USA Swimming account and the official USA Swimming Athlete Protection Training Page for current requirements and completion records.

📋 How to Find Your Safe Sport Training

  1. Visit the USA Swimming University Hub.
  2. Select Education, then click on the Course Catalog options tab.
  3. Choose the category from the menu selections that applies to your current club role:
    • Coaches — Coach training courses
    • Safe Sport — Safe Sport courses and resources
    • Officials — Officials' training updates
    • Athletes — Athlete training pathways
    • Parents / Volunteers — Parent and volunteer training courses
  4. Find the specific course that applies to your position and follow the on-screen instructions to execute the module.
Please note: The directory categories help you pinpoint relevant tracks, but not every course is required for every person. Some courses, particularly those for youth athletes and parents, may be optional or supplemental. Requirements vary based on role specifications and membership status. Please verify which training track is required for you through your active USA Swimming account dashboard.
