Our Swim team is part of the Greater Cincinnati YMCA and the Southwest Ohio YMCA Swim League. Ohio law now requires participants in youth sports to be aware of the following law. As part of our requirement, we must have each participant and parent watch the below video, read the required literature and sign acknowledging their viewing and understanding of Lindsay's Law.
Lindsay’s Law, Ohio Revised Code 3313.5310, 3707.58 and 3707.59 becomes effective on August 1, 2017. In accordance with this law, the Ohio Department of Health, the Ohio Department of Education, the Ohio High School Athletic Association, the Ohio Chapter of the American College of Cardiology and other stakeholders jointly developed guidelines and other relevant materials to inform and educate students and youth athletes participating in or desiring to participate in an athletic activity, their parents, and their coaches about the nature and warning signs of sudden cardiac arrest.
The following video must be viewed by parents and athletes. After viewing the video please sign the paper indicating you have viewed it and turn into Kristine Schmidt or your athlete's coach.
