Outside did a pretty good job of detailing the situation that has been going on for years within USA Swimming, as well as looking at the larger picture of amateur athletics as a whole.
Not only do they talk to some of the survivors of sexual abuse by coaches, they also do a good job of explaining the barriers that exist to the victims. Legal fights with national institutions with big pockets looking to protect their reputation first, lack of clear policies and reporting structures, the status of successful coaches in the community and with other athletes and on and on.
If you have kids involved in any sport, you should read up on it.
Here’s hoping the recent changes made by USA Swimming help protect kids from abusive coached and weed out those seeds from ever being able to work with kids again!
