AAC needs to put out a very strong, victim-focused statement and institute measures that go well beyond obligation, both for optics and for actual training. Curl-Burke rebranded before social media really was what it is now (2012), even with all the same old coaches there into one of the most competitive and largest clubs in the nation (including a robust Burke location). As someone whose son trains at NCAP-Burke, I never leave my child there alone or let him be anywhere near where the coaches are when he is alone. Never. And, from what I’ve seen, NCAP-Burke has implemented stronger measures than those required by SafeSport. AAC needs to carefully craft a response and put positive steps into action. Yes, yes, I know this is different than NCAP/Curl-Burke by a million miles, but this was the AAC President and they need to give assurances, backed by action, and a supportive statement for all victims, know or unknown. (If they have already done this and I missed it, my heartfelt apologies and applause for AAC.) Now is the time for transparent leadership and a clear-cut action plan.

Can you imagine if he was chaperoning club travel trips?????????
AAC is not even related with anything he is being charged of. He has never chaperoned a trip and AAC knows just as much information as the public since they weren’t involved. They are being as transparent as possible.
AAC doesn’t keep records of who goes on what trips.
Booster leaders tend to get preferential treatment and are secretive. They have closed door meetings. Do not “run” for positions nor post publicly when meetings are held. There are no minutes.
They can be on deck and down with the coaches. There kids get placed in better swim groups sometimes over better swimmers.
