Days after Teri McKeever, the swim and diving coach at University of California-Berkeley, was reportedly accused of running a “toxic” culture, the U.S. Center for SafeSport is now opening an investigation into the former Olympic coach, according to The Orange County Register and USA Today.
The Register reported Tuesday how more than a dozen swimmers have accused McKeever of “bullying” and emotional abuse of athletes in the program. Among those who came forward include current and former athletes, parents and a past member of the Golden Bears men’s swim team.
