Safeguarding Children and Young People
At Artistic Swimming WA, the wellbeing of every child and young person in our pool comes first. We’re committed to creating a safe, welcoming and inclusive environment where every member can train, compete and grow with confidence.
Our Safeguarding Children and Vulnerable Persons Policy guides how we put this commitment into practice across our clubs, programs and events. We also proudly align with Artistic Swimming Australia’s National Integrity Framework — the standards we all share as a sport.
