I am looking for information on how to become more involved in the age-group swimming community, i.e., becoming an official or working at a swim meet, etc.
I don't have children, so I don't know the first thing about what I should do and I did not find any useful information on the U.S. Swimming website.
Does anyone have any advice? Thank you.
Actually, I believe that part of what the class focuses on at the Y is how to recognize the signs of abuse in children, and the procedures that someone must go through to report suspected abuse. Remember, at the Y, many of the employees that deal with children(swim lessons, basketball leagues, whatever), are college students, who may not know all the ins and outs of the legal system. This is a national requirement I believe, not just Y's taking it upon themselves.
