What a concept


From an Associated Press story:

USA Swimming is taking steps to protect its more than 300,000 members after being rocked by numerous allegations of sexual abuse by coaches.

 The sport's national governing body announced Wednesday a "seven-point action plan." The measures were outlined in an open letter from president Jim Wood and executive director Chuck Wielgus.

 In the letter, Wielgus says USA Swimming has "a responsibility to help create a safe and positive environment for children and young adults who are our members."

 The organization will, among other things, come up with a code of conduct for coaches and improve the system for reporting alleged abuse.



A code of conduct for coaches and a way to reporting abuse.

What will they think of next?
