See you tonight!

Hi Officials,
Welcome to Fall Season of Girls Swimming & Diving. Please print out the attached info for you to have on hand. If you are having troubles with Arbiter signing in and doing your availability, please bring your laptop with you tonight, as the Library does have wifi.
I have not finished assigning the Fall Season of girls. I have September done and I'll send it out tonight.
Thanks for all your patiences,
Karen

Hi all -
Attached are the end of year Treasurer's reports for the 25-26 season, and the beginning of this year's report. I have received the rule books, and will be handing them out at the meeting tomorrow. There have been a lot of questions about payment this season. Please read the following instructions closely:
1. Regular members (NOT associates) dues are $105
2. College dues are $10 (Invitation only)
3. Associate members are $60
*IF* you ordered a physical rulebook - please add $10 to your membership dues to cover the costs of purchase and shipping. More on that later.
Cash, check or Zelle is the ONLY acceptable form of payment. The Zelle option is preferred, as it links directly to our organization bank account. Contact me for the QR code.
Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow.

Hello Officials,
This is just a reminder that we will be having our General Membership Meeting on Monday, August 24th from 6-7:30pm at the Henrietta Public Library's Community Room. 625 Calkins Road, Rochester, NY14623
If you are not able to attend OR will attend via Zoom, please let me know prior to the meeting and I will send you the link.
We are hoping to have rule books, so please make sure you have a check for Sarah if you ordered one. John and I will be going over the new and the most missed rules from your swimming exam.
You will also need to bring payment for your membership, checks made out to RMCCSO or payment through Zelle: (Sarah will have information on this Monday)
The meeting will start at 6pm sharp, so please make every effort to be there on time, or just a few minutes early to sign in, verify roster information, pay dues, etc.
Karen Ocque will have updates on Arbiter and assigning meets.
There will be a college ref's meeting following our general meeting. So please plan on staying later if this applies to you.
Thank you all,

Hello Everyone,
The 2026 Swim and Dive exam is officially open. Like last year, the exam is being administered through Dragonfly. If you made an account last year, log in to your account and click Complete your Registration on the homepage. On the registration page, click Not Done next to 2026 NYSPHSAA SWIMMING AND DIVING EXAM and submit your answers.
NFHS Center For Officials Services | DragonFly Athletics
A passing score is 85%, and you have multiple attempts. Please send me your passing test score when you are finished. A screenshot of the score or forward the email confirming your score.
I've included a copy of the exam here as well if you'd like to fill out a paper copy and transfer your answers over afterwards. Please note that the order of questions is randomized on the online exam so don't just copy your responses in order.
I would recommend checking out the rules changes and points of emphasis prior to taking the exam if you haven't already - links to both are available here: https://www.rmccso.org/resources
NFHS - Swimming and Diving Rules
Please complete the exam prior to our membership meeting on August 24th. If you have any questions, let me know!
Thank you,
-Linda Critelli

Dear Fellow Swim Officials,
I am honored to serve as your new President and excited for the opportunity to work alongside such a dedicated group of officials.
As we begin a new season, I look forward to building a strong foundation established by those who served before us. My goal is to support our officials, encourage continued learning and mentorship, recruit and welcome new officials, and foster good communication throughout our organization.
I encourage each of you to stay engaged, attend training, ask questions and share your ideas. Whether you're a veteran official, or just getting started, your perspective and contributions are valuable.
I also want to recognize our board members, mentors, trainers, and volunteers who work behind the scenes to make our organization successful. Your efforts are truly appreciated.
I am looking forward to meeting many of you throughout the season and working together to another outstanding year for our officials.
Please make sure to complete the following:
**Fill out the Registration form for 2026-27 season that Sarah sent out
**Mark dates for training and meetings - if there is an issue with a date, please let me and Todd know
**Take test when it is available - we will be sending more information on this as soon as it is available
**Login to Arbiter - Karen will be assigning meets after Aug 6th.
Thank you for your continued dedication to the sport of swimming. I wish you a rewarding, enjoyable and successful season.
Sincerely,
Linda Critelli

Hello all -
On behalf of our new president Linda Critelli, I invite everyone to register for the upcoming 2026-2027 Monroe County Swim season. Please be on the lookout for additional emails regarding training schedules, testing dates, and general membership meetings.
Registration Link: https://forms.gle/fJLfuoftZoiZ14KJ6
NEW THIS YEAR:
Rulebooks are available in both digital and hard copy.
If you want a digital rule book, you will need to purchase that yourself. Digital rulebooks MUST be purchased through NFHS Digital App on a phone/tablet, and can be accessed without the internet once downloaded. Please note that access is not immediate.
Link to NFHS Digital App instructions: https://nfhs.org/about/nfhs-digital
I will place 1 singular order for hardcopy books on August 6th. If you have not registered and indicated your preference for a physical book at the time of the order, you will forfeit the option for a hard copy.
The test will open for the fall season on August 1st, as it has in years past. The link to that will be disseminated once it is live. If you are not planning on continuing to officiate, please reach out to Linda Critelli at ljcswim412@gmail.com and let her know ASAP. Thank you!
