Swimming is an every-day activity for many children and makes a significant contribution to their well being and development. All clubs have a duty to promote a positive experience of the aquatic sports and safeguard children from abuse within our sport. Clubs also have a role in recognising and responding to concerns that a child may be being harmed within another setting. Where clubs implement the Swim Irelands Guidelines for Safeguarding Children 2010 we believe that everyone in the aquatic sports will benefit – children, parents/guardians and leaders.
