Shenandoah Marlins Aquatic Club Safe Sport Training for Parents

Dear Athletes AND Parents,

Please take the Safe Sport training course. Athletes must take “Safe Sport for Athletes” and parents must take “Parents Guide to Misconduct in Sports” The whole process literally takes 30 -45 minutes, and it is free.
