NEW Officials & Continued Official's Training Opportunity

There are many ways to enjoy & participate in your swimmer's activities on ROCK; one of which is volunteering as a USA Swimming Official.

Unlike other sports where Officials are paid by the sponsoring organization, the officiating staff at swim meets is composed entirely of volunteers.  Many USA Swimming Officials get started when their kids started swimming, attending the same sessions as their kids, even without any past swimming experience or knowledge and continue well after their swimmer has graduated from the sport.  Not only do you get up close to the action while supporting ROCK and your swimmer's interests, but you could even participate at the highest levels of competition, including Olympic Trials.

Most swim meets need a minimum of 8-10 Officials at each session to efficiently conduct the competition.  A meet without an accurate number of officials means your swimmer's times don't count, which is why a growing number of Officials is so important to ROCK swimming and the sport as a whole!
