    of volunteers to support the running of the day.
    These include:

    STARTER

    off the block and making sure each swimmer
    leaves on time. If a swimmer jumps early, the
    starter may penalize him or her for a false start.
    The starter controls the swimmers from the time
    the referee turns them over to when the race
    begins.
    4
    REFEREE
    • The single most important officiating
    role in competitive swimming, the referee has
    full control. He or she is responsible for
    enforcing the rules, settling disputes between
    coaches and other officials and calling
    swimmers to their respective blocks.

    5
    TIMEKEEPER

    • As the name suggests, timekeepers are


    responsible for recording the time of the
    swimmer(s) in his or her respective name.
    There are typically two timekeepers for each
    lane, each of which uses a stopwatch to record
    swimmers' times.
