Officials Patches/Pins
All newly-certified Virginia Swimming Officials receive a Virginia Swimming patch/pin from their Area Officials Chair.  If you loose/damage yours, just ask your District Officials Chair for a replacement.
Officials Name Tags
All newly-certified Virginia Swimming Officials receive Virginia Swimming Officials Name Tags after they have completed their first year of work (end of their probation period).  The District Officials Chairs periodically order the name tags for Officials in their Districts (through Cathy Rudolph, (757) 496-3622, to the vendor).  It is a great help if the Club Officials Chairs can periodically let their District Officials Chair know when they have Officials coming up on the one year mark.
New name tags for all Virginia Swimming officials are being procured and should be distributed before the end of this year.
Referee Whistles
Acme Thunder whistles are generally the best whistle for Referees.  You can usually find them (and lanyards and rubber covers) at most sporting goods stores.
Starter Bells
The 5 1/2" brass teacher's bells are generally the best bells for Starters to use when signaling one lap to go for distance events.  Here are 3 online sources for these bells:

Bevin Bells     Bargain Resource     Apple Awards

You can also generally find them in local brass shops, school supply stores, and hardware stores.
