What organizations can you get paid as a stroke/turn judge
Former Member
I was just wondering what swimming organizations can you get paid as a stroke and turn judge. I hear that you can but apparently, you don't as a USS stroke and turn judge.

When I run a meet, I usually offer a nominal stipend ($25.00 or so) to our starter and stroke/turn judges. I think of it as gas money - some of them drive quite a distance to our meets. Some of them take it; some of them refuse to accept it; others donate it to their favorite swim teams.
I don't think they typically get paid for working at kids' meets.
If you're looking for a way to make money as an official, you'd better choose another sport!
