OFFICIALS

 
Welcome to the Officials Section of Virginia Swimming, Inc.  We have designed this section to be a one-stop repository of information important to swim officiating within our LSC.  It is divided into appropriate sub-pages to organize the information.  Most of the information is static. But, when we make a change to a document, we'll add a note on this page indicating a change has been posted.

2012 USA Swimming Rules and Regulations


Breaststroke Rule Interpretation Change
USA Swimming recently released a change to the previous interpretations of the Breaststroke rule regarding initiation of the first pull as it applies to the insertion of the butterfly kick during the pullout.
An observable separation of the hands must occur prior to the butterfly kick even if they are already separated.
This change is now in effect and supersedes both previous interpretations.

New Breaststroke Rule Interpretation


USA Swimming Report of Occurrence Form
Meet Referees - The Report of Occurrence Form is now an online on the USA Swimming website.
All reports must be submitted using the online form.  You will receive an email confirmation with the data submitted for your records.
