NC Swimming Officials Committee

The NCS Officials Committee has established Area Representatives and an Athlete Representative to provide a better communication channel with all officials within North Carolina Swimming. The LSC is divided geographically into five (5) areas with a local Representative from each area. The Representatives are positioned to help keep officials up to date with changes relayed to officiating within USAS and NCS. Each Area Representative should be the first point of contact to help answer any questions or address any issues for any official in NCS. The mission of the North Carolina Area Representatives is to promote the sport of swimming by supporting the growth and development of local swim officials through the recruitment of new volunteers and the mentoring of the officials’ membership of North Carolina Swimming.

To maintain continued excellence in swimming officiating, the Area Representatives are charged to carry out this mission by:

    1. Serving as a local NCS Officials Committee contact for NCS officials and clubs.
    2. Encouraging clubs to recruit new volunteers and providing facilities to host training clinics.
    3. Encouraging local officials to advance within the LSC, the Zone, and the nation.
    4. Identifying and recruiting available officials to staff local area swim meets.
