Since you are requesting to sanction a pool event, a meet announcement (event details accompanied by the entry form) is required. COMPLETE THIS FORM to submit the required meet announcement and any supplemental documents, for your sanction application.

Entries shall not be accepted before the sanction has been issued. If you have questions, please contact events@usmastersswimming.org.  

An event sanctioned by USMS, Inc., through one of its Local Masters Swimming Committees (LMSC), must meet all the following criteria:

1. Conduct of the event must be in strict compliance with applicable swimming rules and administrative regulations of USMS, Inc. A current USMS rule book must be available at the event.

2. Entries shall not be accepted before the sanction has been issued. Paper forms shall not be distributed, online entry systems shall not be activated, and the event shall not be listed as sanctioned on the USMS Calendar of Events until the sanction has been issued. (Article 202.1.1.B)

3. Referees shall be certified in this capacity by a USMS-approved certifying body, as defined by the USMS Officials Committee. Starters or stroke and turn judges certified by one of these bodies may serve as referees if they receive training on specific duties of the referee. See Article 103.3 of the USMS rule book for certification requirements.

4. Entry forms and programs must bear the statement "Sanctioned by (LMSC name) for USMS, Inc." Event entry forms and programs may include the statement "Sanction number ___." (Article 202.1.1.A)

5. Meet information shall include ONE of the following statements:

0. The length of the competition course without a bulkhead is in compliance and on file with USMS in accordance with articles 105.1.7 and 106.2.1.

3. The length of the competition course is in compliance and on file with USMS in accordance with articles 105.1.7 and 106.2.1, but as a bulkhead course, is subject to length confirmation. Eligibility of times for USMS Top 10 and records will be contingent on verification of bulkhead placement.
