E. It is encouraged to direct the Level I – Introduction to Swimming Officiating clinic under the supervision of a Level IV or V official.

Note: Completing the requirements for Level III (A, B, C, D) may happen simultaneously or in any order. The Chief Recorder-Recorder (formerly Recorder-Scorer) clinic may be completed at any time, once official is working on their Level II, in combination with the Meet Manager or CFJ/CJE clinics as deemed appropriate. It is recommended the Chief Recorder-Recorder clinic be taken prior to or in conjunction with the Meet Manager clinic. There are no deck evaluations required for the Chief Recorder-Recorder position.
