Thanks for your interest in Officiating. There are a few things you need to do begin the process.
  1. Complete a Non-Athlete Registration form which you can return to Keith Green   http://www.metroswimming.org/Forms/2018%20Application%20-%20Nonathlete%20fillable.pdf
  2. You will have to set up a Deckpass account for yourself at USA Swimming.
  3. Take the Athlete Protection Training Course:  https://www.usaswimming.org/utility/landing-pages/safe-sport/apt
  4. Complete a Back Round Check:​  https://www.usaswimming.org/background-checks    
  5. Cost will be reimbursed by Metro Swimming after you complete your six apprentice sessions and an additional three sessions as a certified official.  ​http://www.metroswimming.org/Forms/Officials%20Backgroud%20Check%20Reimbursement%20fill%20in%20updated.pdf
  6. Take the Stroke and Turn Officials Exam:   https://www.usaswimming.org/utility/landing-pages/officials/officials-online-testing​           https://www.usaswimming.org/docs/default-source/rules-regulations/2017-rulebook.pdf
  7. Shadow Six Seasons with an Experienced Stroke and Turn Official. Please come to deck wearing Blue Pants/Shorts, White Gold Shirt, and White Sneakers. Generally you may attend any session at a LIAC meet which is not a Championship meet. If you would like to shadow at another meet please let me know and I can arrange that.

Please feel free to reach out to me with any other questions. I look forward to meeting you on deck.

Thanks
Dave Lam, Christine Pette,and Darryl Strabuk
