Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Mission:
By establishing the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee, Ohio Swimming is demonstrating its commitment to creating a culture of inclusion and opportunity for people of diverse backgrounds, including, but not limited to, race, age, income, ethnicity, religion, gender, and sexual orientation.
When you register each year with USA Swimming, checking the box to identify your ethnicity or disability helps USA Swimming identify their true demographic and who they serve. It will also help you to stay informed of opportunities for athletes like you.
