Disability Swimming Section 

The Disability Swimming Committee now has their own section of the USA Swimming web site which includes extensive resources for athletes, coaches, parents and officials. Included is a set of case studies related to the application of rule 105 that can be very helpful to officials in supporting our disabled athletes. In addition, there is also a set of disability situations on the Officials Situations and Resolutions page that can provide guidance to officials.  To go to the new Disability Swimming Committee page, click here.  To go to the Officials Situations & Resolutions page, click here.
