November is National Integrity Month for Swimming Australia.
Everyone has a role to play in safeguarding children and young people and protecting all members from harmful behaviours. Be a leader and support your team, club, friends and sport by committing to safe sport values by living them, speaking up and creating an environment where the welfare, safety and rights of children and young people are paramount.
Swimming Australia is promoting Integrity this November with a focus on raising awareness and recognition of our volunteers and participants who embody the FISH values of Fairness, Integrity, Safety and Happiness.
