  11. Other Editorial Changes

  12. 2013-14Swimming and Diving Points of Emphasis

  13. General Supervision and Coaching With the introduction of the track-style starting platforms, this is a reminder to coaches of their responsibility to institute appropriate training protocols, educate the competitors on the proper use of new and existing blocks, and supervise as competitors become acclimated with the new blocks. The coaches are the primary school contact with the student athlete and, as such, must educate, train and supervise all aspects of practice (including dry lands) and competition to minimize the inherent risks of injury related to the student’s participation in swimming and diving.

  14. Uniforms – FINA MarkRule 3-3-2 NOTE • Many suits on the market meet the FINA requirements and, therefore, have the FINA logo and/or individual barcode on the suit • This mark is not considered a manufacturer’s logo nor a form of advertising • There is no specific location required by NFHS rules • The FINA mark applies only to the design and construction

  15. Medical AccommodationRule 3-3-4 NOTE • There may be times when the athletes may need to use an atomizer/inhaler • Under Rule 3-3-4 NOTE, each state association shall address such a request utilizing the policies and procedures the association has in place

  16. Referee’s AuthorityRules 4-1-4,5 and 4-2-1 • Head official and responsible for: • Making decisions on matters not specifically covered by the rules • Setting aside application of a rule during a meet if necessary • Ordering a race re-swum when there is obvious unfairness • Retains clerical authority over contest through completion of any reports, including those dealing with a disqualification due to actions during the meet • Authority begins as referee is available on deck, at least 30 minutes before meet

  17. Breaststroke Starts/Turns NFHS Rule 8-2-2c was changed to permit a single butterfly kick following the start or turn at any time prior to the normal breaststroke kick. This kick may occur before the competitor initiates his/her first arm stroke. If the butterfly kick is used prior to the initial arm stroke, a second butterfly kick during, or at the completion of, the first arm stroke would result in a disqualification.

  18. Backstroke TurnRule 8-2-1 • One requirement of the turn is that some part of the swimmer’s body contact the end wall • Should the swimmer miss the wall during the turn, it is legal to scull back to make contact with the wall then continue on Backstroke Misses wall Sculling Sculling back to wall Official observes contact with wall; LEGAL Swimmer continues backstroke

  19. Electronic Devices Electronic devices, such as computers, notebooks and smartphones, may be used not only to record a competitor’s performance, but as a coaching aid other than while the competitor is swimming or diving. The information may be presented to the athlete prior to the competitor’s next race or dive. Attaching a camera to the competitor during their race or dive is not permitted. Team personnel using electronic devices shall not interfere with the responsibilities of officials or other deck personnel. Do not approach an official to contest/protest a call based on the recorded information.

  20. Manufacturer’s Logo on Suits FINA-approved suits continue to meet the NFHS requirements of Rule 3-3-3. The FINA mark/barcode is NOT deemed to be a logo. However, some suit models do contain two manufacturer’s logos. These suits are NOT legal. Manufacturer’s may be moving to the FINA mark/barcode to a location on the inside of the suit. The coach should verify NFHS compliance of all suits worn by the competitors. This includes all logo requirements, e.g. size, included in Rule 3-3-3.

  21. Taping/Braces NFHS Rule 3-3-4 regarding the use of devices that aid the competitor and use of tape is unchanged. Other than tape on the wrist of a diver, the use of tape must be associated with a documented medical condition and requires the signed statement of a health care professional (HCP). If an injury occurs during the meet (i.e. a cut or sprained ankle) and an HCP is not available, the coach can provide the required documentation to the referee. The use of braces is subject to state association authorization as has been the procedure.
