What is Safeguarding?
Safeguarding is the range of measures USRowing employs to promote and protect the welfare of all participants, including their physical and psychological well-being. It’s the number one thing we can all do to be a part of making rowing safe- on the water and off. It takes us all.
The Safeguarding Team encompasses: Safety on the water and on land, SafeSport, and Referees programs.
