Rules of Swimming

There is a section which defines the rules by which the strokes, turns, and finishes are judged click to download the pdf file. This is only one small section of the USMS rule book, but it is the section from where the "dq's" come. The entire 2008 Rules Book can be viewed on the USMS web site, in Adobe Acrobat Reader (pdf) format at http://www.usms.org/rules/
