Important Information from USA Swimming

A few important pieces of information from USA Swimming...

ATHLETE PROTECTION TRAINING - BROWSER
Windows 10 was released last week, and the APT is not currently compatible with the browser, Microsoft Edge, that comes with it.  There have been a few reports from members about this. Praesidium (the APT provider) is working toward a more permanent solution, but the temporary work-around is to use Google Chrome from a desktop or laptop computer (not a tablet or mobile device) to complete the course.
  
ONLINE TESTING NOT AVAILABLE APRIL 15-30
As happens every year, the officials’ online tests will be unavailable from April 15-30, 2016. All of these tests are being updated to allow for the May 1st rule changes and to align with the 2016 Rulebook. Tests will be back online on May 1.

If any test-takers have not completed their tests by April 15th, the uncompleted tests will be deleted and they will have to be taken over from the beginning on May 1st. COMPLETED tests will not be deleted. Note: NCAA tests will not be affected and will still be available from the NCAA testing link on the website.
