Swim officials requirements

If you plan to officiate high school swimming this year, here are the basic requirements

Meet Referee of Starter – 

(1) participate in SCHSL Rules Training 

(2) participate in a Stroke and Turn Clinic (or send me a picture of current USA-S credentials), 

(3) Register at Arbiter Sports, and 

(4) Pass NFHS Swim Rules Exam

Stroke and Turn Judge – 

(1) Participate in a Stroke and Turn Clinic (or send me a picture of current USA-S credentials)

Note: If you are currently a USA Swimming certified official, the Stroke and Turn Clinic is optional – ALL other requirements remain valid.

To register to be a Meet Referee/Starter, please follow the instructions at: https://app.arbitersports.com/registration/official?org=455&role=3 for either new officials or returning officials, as applicable.  Click the blue “REGISTER” button towards the top right of the page and follow the instructions. Note – there is a registration fee required to complete your application.   

The exam should be available mid-week at http://schsl.arbitersports.com/front/101800/Test. You will only be able to login and take the exam if you have completed the registration above.  I do not have rule books yet but if you have last year’s (or the year before’s), it will suffice.  Only minor changes affecting swimming were made and can be found by Googling “2020  NFHS Swim Rule Changes” and “2021 NFHS Swim Rule Changes”. It’s not ideal but if you are one of those who like to get ahead, go for it.  

ALL REQUIRED TRAINING CAN BE COMPLETED VIA ZOOM.  Here is the current schedule for training:
