Child Safety Policies

Safe Sport

Swimming Australia has officially adopted Sports Integrity Australia’s National Integrity Framework from 15 June 2022. This development means that Swimming Victoria will be replacing some existing policies with new ones that have been developed for our community, as well as the implementation of a new complaints handling process for serious or complex matters via an independent resource in Sport Integrity Australia.

LSC will be updating the site with the new policies, information and tools as they become available.
