Introducing Online Training
Illinois Swimming has streamlined the official training process to our new online learning program. Select your training below. Each is position-specific, so please select the level at which you are training. New officials may only choose Stroke and Turn, or Admin Official.
Please be sure you can make the clinic time before registering. No refunds for clinic registration will be provided.
Once you sign up for a clinic, you will receive a link in a few days inviting you to an online classroom. These classrooms contain short, interactive videos for you to complete. You MUST complete them before attending the training.
Each training session is led by an Illinois official experienced at that level. The classes have different lengths (approximately 90 minutes for stroke and turn, 2 hours for admin and starter, and three hours for referees).
The 2-hour requirement for on-deck training sessions has been reinstated. For all positions other than referee, a training session must last 2 hours. For referees, it must be 3 hours.
