The South Wind Swim Conference is part of the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) and is a 501c3. Our Board Members are volunteers who serve two year terms. Officer elections are held every two years at the fall conference meeting. We have a spring and fall meeting to conduct SWSC business. The spring meeting is where the summer meet schedule is set and covers additional business. The fall meeting reviews the previous summer session and conducts additional business.

Meet Officials
All of our Meet Officials are volunteers who have participated in Stroke & Turn classes. Many of them are also officials at High School and USA Swimming meets. Each team is responsible to supply officials and timers at SWSC swim meets.
There be a fine to any attending team that does not provide an official, either stand alone or shadowing. That fine is payable to the host team.
