1 SI Swimming Qualification Log for New Officials Version 1.0 SI Swimming Background Information San Diego Imperial Swimming, Inc. (SI Swimming) is one of 59 Local Swimming Committees (LSC) of USA Swimming, assigned to the Western Zone. SI Swimming territory is the San Diego and Imperial counties of the State of California. SI Swimming is a non profit corporation registered in the state of California. USA Swimming is the national governing body for swimming in the United States, and is affiliated with the Federation Internationale de Natation Amateur (FINA), the international federation for aquatics. This qualification log is intended to present an easy reference guide to competitive swimming rules and a step by step procedures to complete the official s qualification training with SI Swimming. Modifications to this document may be made by the SI Officials chairman and Officials Committee. Where any conflict appears between this qualification log and the USA Swimming Technical Rules, the latter shall always govern. Stroke & Turn Officials Role The Referee will assign each Stroke and Turn Judge an area of responsibility before the competition begins. This will include the manner and sequence in which he wants the judges to move to different areas. Stroke Judge Assigned only when officiating 50 meter pools The stroke judge is responsible for observing the swimmers from 50 meter side of the pool. The stroke judge will observe the 15 meter mark for all strokes except the breaststroke. After the start, the Stroke Judge walks the sides of the pool, preferably abreast of swimmers during all strokes except freestyle. The breaststroke and butterfly are best judged by walking slightly behind the swimmers. Judges should walk at a pace that is sufficient to stay with the swimmers. If the field spreads out, the stroke judge should maintain a position slightly ahead of the trailing swimmers while maintaining contact with the lead swimmer(s). If there are two (2) stroke judges working one side of the pool (usually in long course meets), a "lead lag" observation pattern could be utilized as the field spreads out; i.e., the leading stroke judge takes jurisdiction over the faster swimmer(s) while the following stroke judge takes jurisdiction over the slower swimmer(s). After each turn, the stroke judges switch jurisdictions as they begin to walk in the opposite direction. Teamwork and coordination are important between the two (2) stroke judges to ensure that all of the swimmers are observed on a fair and equitable basis. The stroke judge 1
2 must clearly be in position to watch swimmers in the backstroke, butterfly, and freestyle events who are submerged after the start or any turn to ensure that their heads surface before the 15 meter mark. Turn Judge The Turn Judges are positioned at the start and turn ends of the pool. (25 Yard and 50 Meter Pools)Turns and finishes are best judged from the ends of the pool directly over the lane if possible. If a judge must observe more than one lane (the norm for most meets at the LSC level), the official will have to adjust his position to best observe all assigned lanes. A Turn Judge at the starting end of the pool must position himself so he can step forward quickly to observe the first stroke and kick in the breaststroke, butterfly or individual medley events as soon as the starting signal is given and the swimmers leave the blocks. (NOTE: A judge position must not block the timer's' view of the strobe light, the Starter's view of the swimmers, and stay out of the peripheral vision of the swimmers on the blocks.) The Stroke and Turn Judge s responsibilities begin after the start. Any action prior to the start is the Starter's responsibility or, in the case of relay take offs, it may be the Relay Take off Judge's responsibility. Each Stroke and Turn Judge should observe the start; however, his duties commence immediately after the start.
