INTRODUCING:

Creating a Safe Sport environment is something that we all can help achieve. Hi, my name is Liv and this is Remy. We’re Safe Sport Champions. We believe that every kid deserves the chance to share in a posi-tive environment while swimming. We are excited to walk through this activity book with you. So, let’s get going and have some fun! I bet we will find some ways that we can do Safe Sport everyday.
