National Certification

Your South Texas Swimming official’s certification (e.g Stroke and Turn Judge or Starter) is a local certification. Although that certification qualifies you to officiate swim meets across the country, there is a path to advancement through the National Officials Certification Program, administered by USA Swimming. Its primary goal is to expand the education of officials through mentoring, participation and evaluation as well as recognizing those officials who have demonstrated their knowledge of swim officiating at each level and position. South Texas Swimming supports the National Officials Certification Program by hosting Officials Qualifying Meets (OQM) to provide opportunities for evaluation and by providing financial assistance for South Texas officials to travel to specific national meets.
