I am looking for information on how to become more involved in the age-group swimming community, i.e., becoming an official or working at a swim meet, etc.
I don't have children, so I don't know the first thing about what I should do and I did not find any useful information on the U.S. Swimming website.
Does anyone have any advice? Thank you.

with children--whether you have children or not--try to obtain a criminal clearance with your state and also a child abuse clearance with your state.
Here in Pennsylvania, each costs about $10 and can be applied for over the internet. The Criminal can come back in just a few minutes (but covers ONLY Pennsylvania) while the Child Abuse will take a week or so and is returned via mail.
Before I could tutor in a school OR work with handicapped individuals--I had to have both clearances.
