Racing Start Certification Reminder

 

Racing Start Certification Reminder

As of May 1, 2009, USA Swimming rules require that all registered swimmers must be racing start certified in order to perform racing starts in less than six feet of water, 103.2.2 (which already provides that racing starts should only be taught in at least six feet of water) to further clarify that racing starts should only be taught under the direct supervision of a USA Swimming member coach, and to expand the definition of teaching racing starts to make clear that no swimmer who has not been certified as proficient by his or her coach should be performing racing starts into less than six feet of water. Each athlete on your team must have a “Racing Start Certification Checklist” filled out and kept on file at your club for proof of completion of this testing. To download the these items to complete the requirements go to the FS web site's E-Documents page.
