2011 Officiating

2011 City Meet Officials Assignments can be found here (coming later).

RCSL relies on parents to assist with running the swim meets. This includes meet officials and stroke and turn judges. Please consider volunteering to become a meet official! It's easy to do and is critical to your team.

Here is the current list of RCSL officials (pdf file created 09/20/11 am)

Certification and Recertification tests for all officials are administered by an online test service, www.classmarker.com. A valid user name and password is required to access and take the tests. Contact Steve Henderson to obtain proper access data. Include your First and Last Name, Pool, Address, Phone, and Email in your request.

Here is a guide to the certification process (pdf file created 04/05/11 am)

Video Training and Deck Training are required for first time Stroke and Turn and first time Starter-Referee certification. The video training affords the opportunity to better visualize stroke evaluation. Each pool has been provided their own Officiating Swimming DVD and expected to provide suitable opportunities to permit officials the ability to view the tape. Without this training, officials will not be fully certified to officiate a meet. Although not required for recertification, Deck and Video training are recommended for recertification of Stroke and Turn as well as for Starter-Referee Judges.

Use the 2011 Rules of Competition (same rules as 2010) as open book reference material for the tests.

To access the USA Swimming Rules online, please visit their website at www.usa-swimming.org. Choose the About link on the top then Rules and Regulations. About 3/4 of the way down the page in the "USA SWIMMING RULEBOOK" section, you will find the PDF file links. (Or try this link for 2011 Rules or access the document here.
