PREFACE

The ASAJ Officials Handbook was developed to be a guide for persons who have dedicated themselves to officiating at swimming competitions.  The information in this manual has been edited and adopted by the ASAJ Swimming Committee as the standard for officiating swimming competitions in Jamaica.

The text was developed by experienced members of swimming committees worldwide:

• The ASAJ Swimming Committee
• The USA Swimming National Officials Committee
• New South Wales Swimming (Australia)

The ASAJ would like to thank the USA Swimming National Officials Committee and New South Wales Swimming (Australia) for allows us to use their text for much of this manual.

Swimming in Jamaica complies with the FINA rules which can be located on their website using the link in the left hand column. 

Volunteers are critical to any sport and the ASAJ thanks you for your support. Happy Officiating. Should you have any questions, comments or suggestions, please email them to asaj@cwjamaica.com , we will respond to you as soon as possible.
