Applications to Officiate at National Championship Meets
Below are the links to online application forms to officiate at USA Swimming National Championship meets.Application Process
- Applications are generally posted 180 days out.
- 3-star and above meets will generally close at about 120 days out unless there have not been enough applications received to fully staff the meet.
- If you do not see a meet listed, either the application for that meet has closed or it has not yet been posted (for meets in the far future). Please check back for updates to the available applications.
- Acceptance/non-acceptance letters will be e-mailed shortly after the application closure date and after the assigned team has been selected and notified.
Meet Series
For meets in a series (for example, winter champs), there is only one application for all the meets in the series. You will be able to select a meet/location preference when you complete the application.
Meet Specifications
Please indicate the ONE meet in the series you prefer to be selected for.
If you have no preference and are willing to work any of the meets in the series please indicate that preference accordingly. This does not guarantee you will be selected for the meet you prefer, but it helps the reviewing committee in making selections. In order to give opportunities to as many as possible, you may not be selected for more than one meet in a series.
