When Long Course Meets are being planned for PLEASE remember that the Stroke Judges will be walking 50 METERS each length of the pool. It is a good idea to have either a relief or 4 Stroke Judges, 2 on each side, for long course meets. For the same reason, it would be wise to have 2 Chief Judges, one at each end of the pool, during long course meets.

These are minimum numbers. It DOES NOT allow for breaks or other unforeseen situations where an Official might need to leave their position on the deck.

PLEASE when placing officials on deck, spread them evenly between the Start and Turn Ends of the pool.
