[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FWIW, safe sport guidelines…

Coaches should avoid having athletes as their favorites. They should also avoid creating a
situation that could be perceived as them having favorites.

Gift-giving, providing special favors or showing favoritism to individual athletes is strongly
discouraged.[/quote]

This is a piece of safe sport I think is narrow and short sighted. There are situations, especially when a club coach also has swimmers/families at summer swim where they are like family. I think there is a difference between a coach who is a creep and coach who grew up two doors down and is a close family friend. [/quote]

Like Rick Curl? Same pattern of practices if the OP contention is true. (From an NCAP-Burke parent)[/quote]

The sad thing in that case is it wasn’t a USA Swimming issue. It was a case of a bad person as a coach and totally oblivious parents who let him into their house. Safe Sport wouldn’t have stopped that. [/quote]
