PURPOSE
There are many reasons to participate in sport at any level, including rowing. As a life‐long activity, people often play sport to have fun, spend time with friends, and stay fit.  Sport encourages a healthy lifestyle and builds self‐confidence; athletes often do better off the field. They learn goal setting, teamwork, and time management skills. Unfortunately, sport can also be a risk environment for misconduct.

At PWRC, we are committed to creating a safe and positive training environment for all participants.  This document establishes the requirements for implementing the Safety in Sport policy. These requirements are in addition to those delineated for coaches (in coaching contracts) and for all
PWRC members (PWRC Code of Conduct).

In conjunction with the US Olympic Committee’s “SafeSport” policies, USRowing has identified six primary types of misconduct:
  • Bullying
  • Harassment
  • Hazing
  • Emotional Misconduct
  • Physical Misconduct
  • Sexual Misconduct
All these forms of misconduct will not be tolerated by the Prince William Rowing Club.
