This page contains information on
Officials Certification in Virginia Swimming. Once you decide to become an
Official, you should attend one of the Orientation/Training
Clinics (normally held in each District of the LSC in
September/October and in April/May - watch the Officials Page
for this schedule). If you're training for S&T
Judge, Starter, or Referee, you must take and pass the
appropriate tests prior to beginning your training.
If you're training for any other position, you must take and
pass the appropriate test prior to completing your
training.

Certification / Re-Certification Tests
Certification Tests are available
online (on the USA Swimming website). The tests will
automatically be scored, the correct responses to the questions
that you missed will be reported, and the results forwarded to
the District Officials Chairs. You can save and print a copy of the
questions for your test, so you can work offline. Don't
forget your references (required for each question, some have
more than one) and make sure to check that the answers match the
order presented when you log back on.
