USA Swimming allow results of swimming competitions that are not sanctioned by USA Swimming (i.e. high school) to be submitted to USA Swimming's database if they are observed by certified USA Swimming officials. The certified USA Swimming officials must be in attendance to verify compliance of the swims with that part of the USA Swimming rule that differs from the organization’s (i.e. National Federation of High Schools [NFHS]) rule.

If you are a certified USA Official and are willing to be a volunteer observer, please fill out the form below. You would be charged with watching all athletes and report any swims that were not in compliance with USA Swimming rules to Michael Bougie at bougieml@msn.com. Please supply Prelims or Finals, event, heat, and
lane, as well as a short description of the violation.

NOTE: USA Swimming rules now require that the observing officials be on deck. Being a timer would fill this requirement.  

Any questions about the process can be directed to Michael Bougie at bougieml@msn.com. Questions or issues with the form can be directed to webmaster@mnswim.org.
