Swim & Dive

After multiple discussions with the NFHS, in order to properly implement Rule 3.3, the following must be considered.

Is the lack of coverage the result of an intentional action by the swimmer?

The rule was put in place to curtail swimmers from intentionally rolling up their swimsuits in such a manner as to expose their buttock.

ASAA strongly believes students are not intentionally rolling up their swimsuits in this manner. Therefore, we believe the best course of action is:

Assume school issued uniforms are legal and will remain so.
Upon observing a potential swimsuit coverage issue, the notify the coach as directed in Rule 3.3 Article 2.1

ASAA very much appreciates the efforts of our swim and dive officials in helping schools and this Association conduct swim and dive competitions. We hope this direction will help you in your duties.
