Official's Apparel

The official dress code for Indiana Swimming Officials is a white polo shirt, black pants (shorts and skirts are acceptable for most non-championship meets), and black shoes and socks (white shoes may continue to be used through September 1, 2023).   The meet referee will advise of dress code requirements at specific meets.

A plain white polo shirt is generally acceptable, but you may also order an official white polo shirt through the USA Swimming Brand Store.  Use the link and select Meet Officials. You may also order Indiana Swimming Officials Shirts from Elsmore Swim Shop as well.  From time to time, Westfield Aquatics will have WA branded white polos available for purchase.  A branded shirt is not required, but many officials opt to purchase them.

You may also want to order a name tag which you can do through Hasty Awards.  There are options for Indiana Swimming that include Admin, Technical (for Stroke & Turn), Tech/Admin (if you are certified for both), or Starter. Referee name tags are provided by Indiana Swimming.

You must present your current USA Swimming credentials to gain deck access (generally via the USA Swimming App) along with a photo ID.
