Geek is not alone in his practices.
I swam summer league from 7 to 18 and can recall many times when the Starter/ Referee/ Judge (often the same person) DID NOT call DQs. I recall several times when youngsters attempted a version of fly or *** (that was not even close to the stroke) and it slipped by. Rarely were these "no calls" contested by parents or coaches (of either team - and it would make a difference in team scores).
From what I saw and as a general rule, summer league was more lax in its rules than USS.
I would guess that rule enforcement varies from league to league and even from official to official.
