Minor
Athlete Abuse Prevention Policy (MAAPP)
The U.S. Center for SafeSport (“the Center”), the separate,
independent, organization that oversees all sexual misconduct
reports in the Olympic and Paralympic Movement created the Minor
Athlete Abuse Prevention Policies to set a baseline for
acceptable safety standards that limit one-on-one interactions
between adults and minor athletes.
The Center urged all National Governing Bodies (NGBs) to add
restrictions tailored to fit the sport. On April 29, 2019, USA
Swimming released its Minor Athlete Protection Policy (MAAPP)
addressing one-on-one interactions, social media and electronic
communications, travel: local and team, locker rooms and
changing areas and massages, rubdowns and athletic training
modalities. All USA Swimming member clubs are required to
implement MAAPP in full by June 23,
2019.
All should read MAAPP policy.

Vittorio Cappabianca Qualifies for Zone Select Camp
USA Swimming sponsors four Zone Select Camps in an effort to
identify the emerging young athletes in each Zone and offer
them a unique motivational and educational experience. The
Zone Select Camps are viewed as an integral step for
athletes to move from the local and Zone level onto to the
national scene.
2019 Athlete Selection:
28 male and 28 female athletes are selected in each of the
four Zones.
Initially, 14 athletes of each gender are selected based on
2018 Long Course Meters (LCM) IMX point scores according to
the following:
Seven girls age 12 and seven boys age 13
Seven girls age 13 and seven boys age 14
Then, the fastest swimmer in each Zone in each Long Course
Meters (LCM) Olympic event (including the 800 and 1500 for
both genders) is invited for a total of 14 additional male
and 14 additional female athletes.
Vittorio qualified for the camp by having the 11th highest
IMX score in the Central Zone earning him an automatic bid
by scoring 4,575 power points for the 2018 long course
season.
