Radio Use by Officials
The use of radios has become increasingly common on pool decks. Depending upon staffing levels, the configuration of the pool, and the level of the meet, radios might be used in a variety of fashions. It is important that radios be used properly to ensure accurate, efficient, and effective communication among officials.
