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!
Should it be the responsibility of USA swimming to apologize for coaches who had sex with minor athletes (& adult athletes) or should it be the responsibility of the local authorities who prosecute them as criminals?
Banning convicted offenders from contact with minors should be in the terms of the offenders penalty?
What if the offender is a day care worker?
Should the national association of day care workers apologizes?
What if the offender is a teacher?
Unlike a church, where priests are employees of the church. Most coaches aren't employees of USA Swimming, they are employees of clubs, schools, businesses, & non profits.
These organizations should have a screening process in their hiring practices to prevent this type of thing from happening.
Each org should have a code of conduct to prevent this from happening, like BSA's 2 deep leadership. But unfortunately if there's a determined offender, they will figure out a way.
It's horrible that it's happened and I'm sure there are many more situations where the abused remained silent & the offenders never been caught.
I know of a case where a coach was coaching an adult athlete & left his wife to be with the athlete & they are still married to this day.
