USMS Referee Certification Course
November 15 @ 6:00 pm - November 16 @ 1:00 pm
Sponsored by the Michigan LMSC (Free Course)
November 15th & 16th, 2024
The Michigan LMSC is sponsoring a class for those officials that would like to get their USMS Referee Certification. This class is designed to help officials with getting certified as a USMS Masters Swimming Referee.
The Course Consists of Two Parts:
- A Dry Session (Classroom): Friday night, November 15, 2024, at 6:00 p.m. at the Hampton Inn Wixom and will last approximately two and a half hours.
- Wet Session (Meet): Saturday morning, November 16, 2024, at 7:00 a.m. at South Lyon East High School during their 2024 Fall Masters Meet.
Space is limited for this class, so sign up early to be assured a spot.
NOTE: This course and certification is separate from the USA Swimming certification program for referees and will not count toward the USA Swimming certification program for referees.
USMS now has its own Referee certification program that allows officials to get their USMS Referee certification and USMS membership is required to achieve and maintain certification as a USMS Referee.
To participate, you must have previously been certified by USMS as a Stroke & Turn and Starter Official.
This two-part class will train officials for the role referee at swim meets sanctioned by U.S. Masters Swimming (USMS). Its audience is any official currently certified by USMS as both a Starter and a Stroke and Turn official who wishes to become certified by USMS as a Masters Referee.
U.S. Masters Swimming certifies swimming officials to work USMS-sanctioned meets. Officials certification is open to anyone 18 years of age or older.
