Clearances & Concussion
It is the responsibility of the clubs and teams to ensure that coaches and officials for their teams have the proper clearances. It is a requirement of the insurance company with which LBSL has a policy to have these clearances in place. It is not the responsibility of the Lower Bucks Swim League or its board or volunteers to ensure these clearances are in completed and in place.
Please note, that if a person associated with a club or team is paid, they are not considered volunteers.
For your convenience, please see the below link for obtaining the proper clearances from the PA Child Welfare site.
Also, for your convenience, please see a link for the concussion fact sheet.
As a reminder, it is the responsibility of the teams and coaches to ensure every swimmer and diver has signed the LBSL Waiver and Release of Liability form and submitted it to the Operating Secretary in advance of the athlete participating in any practice, meet, or LBSL-recognized event.
