Suggest that the first sentance, "Swimming is an individual or team racing sport that requires the use of one's entire body to move through water." be modified to this:

Competitive swimming is an individual or team racing sport that requires the use of one's entire body to move through water. Positivejls (talk) 20:19, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: The inherent definition of swimming as provided does not change between competetive and non-competetive settings. I Am Chaos (talk) 23:31, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 27 February 2023

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

The officials section is out of date. There are other changes that need to be made beyond those I outlined. The new rules can be found at https://resources.fina.org/fina/document/2023/01/04/65961a45-bde5-4217-b666-ca1f5dc2d1f0/1_Swimming-Technical-Rules.04.01.2023.pdf

Some specific changes:

The Clerk or Course changed to Call Room Supervisor and it seems some duties changed: The Call Room Supervisor assembles swimmers prior to each event. The supervisor is also responsible for enforcing rules of the swim meet if a swimmer chooses to not show up ("No show" - NS) to their events or any violations regarding swimwear and advertising.

Video Review Supervisor and Judge added: Video Review Judges ensure that the rules related to the style of swimming designated for the event are being observed, and observe turns and finishes. Any violations are reported to the Video Review Supervisor.

The Video Review Supervisor reviews and confirms infractions reported by the Video Review Judges or as requested by the referee. Any violations confirmed in the video review are reported to the Referee. Demishtoid (talk) 21:57, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Actualcpscm (talk) 16:00, 12 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Upcoming Edits and Collaboration

Hi all, I’m gonna be reviewing and working to copy edit this article on Swimming over the next few weeks and just wanted to let you know that I’d be around. As a competitive swimmer for over 15 years and some fairly significant experience copy editing, I’m excited to be involved and help make this article the best it can be. From what I’ve reviewed in the article so far, my two main goals are to address general grammar/punctuation and formatting. Some information throughout the article seems like it could be condensed to lists or separated with subheadings, this is my main goal to address when it comes to formating. Please let me know if you have any questions about my future edits or plans, I’ll make sure to keep the talk page up to date so you know if I have any suggestions for more significant edits.
