An investigation conducted by the representative of athletes, initiated in October 2025 upon the request of swimmer S. Plytnykaitė, has revealed significant shortcomings in the way the Lithuanian aquatic association, "LTU Aquatics," handled harassment claims. The report, which included insights from two experts, noted that the association failed to prevent violations of Plytnykaitė’s rights and did not take adequate measures once the violations became apparent. The investigation highlighted a lack of respect within the organization, which contributed to an unsafe environment for athletes.

The conclusions drawn from this investigation pointed towards systemic issues within the sports organization, which normalized disrespectful behavior and fostered an environment of tolerance towards degrading conduct. These findings suggest that the underlying organizational culture may be complicit in perpetuating harmful behaviors, thereby undermining the safety and dignity of athletes within the sport.

Furthermore, the officer responsible for creating a safe environment for athletes expressed concern regarding the implications of the findings, underscoring the urgent need for reforms within the organization to address these deficiencies. The outcome of this investigation may prompt further discussion around athlete safety and organizational accountability in Lithuanian sports, calling for immediate action to ensure that similar incidents do not recur in the future.
