Safe Sport Information

Cougar Aquatic Club is committed to fostering a safe and healthy environment for its athletes.

USA Swimming strives to continually improve the programs and services it offers to its members and among these some of the most important relate to the safeguards for protecting young athletes. To continue to foster safe and positive environments within all member clubs, USA Swimming has provided CAT with best practice guidelines (and best practice guidelines with athletes with disabilities) that help define elements of appropriate behavior and conduct.


CAT's top priority continues to be keeping its athletes safe. No form of abuse, including child sexual abuse, has a place in our sport.

CAT adheres to USA Swimming's Code of Conduct, which is included in the annual USA Swimming Rulebook.

The U.S. Center for SafeSport (“the Center”), the separate, independent, organization that oversees all sexual misconduct reports in the Olympic and Paralympic Movement created the Minor Athlete Abuse Prevention Policies to set a baseline for acceptable safety standards that limit one-on-one interactions between adults and minor athletes.


CAT is committed to providing a safe environment for all of its athletes. To that end, CAT has appointed a Safe Sport Coordinator, Christina Forristall, to assist athletes in voicing their concerns. CAT has also put in place numerous policies and procedures that are meant to foster an environment that is safe for all athletes.
