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!

  • 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. Agreed. The attempt to draw a parallel between USAS and the Catholic church is ridiculous also. USAS has never claimed god-ordained moral authority or papal perfection. If USAS has had their heads in the sand, they need to learn from mistakes and make adjustments. Trying to argue this is a scandal the likes of what's gone on in the Catholic church is just silly.
