A Note from Clear Creek Swim League (CCSL) Officials Chair:  Fred Bogar

Email:  fbogar@hotmail.com

CCSL has two levels of certification, Stroke/Turn and Starter/Referee.  There are two tests.  You are only required to complete the test for your desired certification.  The Starter/Referee test includes Stroke/Turn questions so it is inclusive.

The material I am using is from USA Swimming and Gulf Swimming.  The videos are excellent and give visual examples of legal and illegal technique.  Stroke/Turn and Starter have both a Powerpoint and Manual.  The manual gives more detail to the bullet points on the slides.

The Deck Referee Powerpoint is a good review of how to run the deck.  Most teams won't have enough people to have a Chief Judge so all references to their responsibilities fall on the Deck Referee.

The Stroke/Turn Situations and Resolutions is included to give you an idea how the rules are applied.  It is very helpful in relating the rulebook to the pool.  I recommend everyone read it as well.

My email is at the top of the page.  Feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions.  I hope to see you on deck soon!
