Updated MAAPP info and forms 6.7.19

Friday, June 7, 2019

Dear Coaches,

Please Read the MAAPP News!

There are still a couple weeks left before the June 23rd deadline to implement MAAPP. Your feedback has been heard and much appreciated, and we want to continue to provide resources to assist you in your implementation.

Please take the time to visit www.usaswimming.org/maapp. We continue to add additional resources and update existing resources to assist you in understanding and implementing the policy. The new resource additions this week include short webinars that break down each section of the policy, a protected MAAPP word document that allows you to customize certain parts to reflect your team name and the choice to determine whether to include the recommend. We also added language on the landing page to assist in understanding where MAAPP came from and its purpose. Should you have specific questions please reach out to safesport@usaswimming.org.

Next week, please look for a MAAPP specific email containing updated information and links to resources.
