Role of Officials
Officials
are an important part of every swim club. Without officials it would be
impossible to host a swim meet. See the "How
to
Earn Levy
Hours at a
Swim Meet" page
for details about
officiating positions, how many volunteers it takes to run a meet and
how you can earn your levy hours.
In order to
help out at swim meets, you must attend short clinics or take online
courses to
learn the various positions.
For
those of
you who want more information on the officiating system for swimming
and the different certification levels and requirements you can click
here.
New
swim parents: You
will start with the Level 1
Timekeepers course.
This course is a great introduction to what to expect at a swim
meet. Please note that you will also receive levy hours for
taking a
course!
Already
qualified and want to help out?
Check
the Officials Room at any
swim meet and volunteer your services.
