Breaststroke Rule Questions

Is there two breaststroke kicks and a dolphin kick allowed (3 kicks) or does the dolphin kick replace one of the original breaststroke kicks?

One or Two Whistles on the Backstroke Question

Why is it that sometimes a referee blows his whistle once at the start of a backstroke race and other times a referee will blow it twice?

Backstroke turn too far from wall

While doing the backstroke, if a swimmer turns onto their breast too far from the wall how do we judge the legality of the turn?

How do I find a referee for our swim meet?

I'm planning a swim meet but I don't know who to get as a referee in order to proceed with a sanction application. What resources do I have?

How do I submit my Officials Roster after our swim meet?

I'm a meet manager and I heard I am supposed to send in a copy of the official's sign up sheet from our meet. How do I do that and who does it go to?
