Alright, USA Swimming.
Yes, you should apologize. Step up the protection of
our youth and ban these idiots who think they can
get their jollies out on the youth of America.
Do not become like the catholic church and try to sweep
this BS under the rug. Take charge and accept the problems
and DEAL WITH IT!
Excellent post Elise. Great idea with the whistleblower idea. Coaches should not be allowed on deck until they have been investigated.
I'm sorry, but a coach who has been with NUMEROUS teams should raise some suspicion.
You will always get wackos in our society who will be mad at a coach and may falsely accuse them, but hopefully, that would all come out in an investigation.
The main idea here is that it does happen and there is NOTHING to prevent it in the first place. Although USA-S does check for criminal convictions, big whoop. There needs to be a thorough overhaul of this screening process.
And to whoever asked (somewhere, maybe on FB) why this is coming out now, b/c it is still happening now. A local mom (to us) reported a coach and NOTHING was done. So she was smart and went to 20/20. Now that useless weasel Wielgus will have to do something- I suggest RESIGN !
