The Georgia Interscholastic Swimming Officials Association (GISOA) is a professional organization of swimming and diving officials serving the metro Atlanta region of Georgia. GISOA provides officials for both high school and college meets in the area. 

GISOA is an approved officials group of the Georgia High School Association. GISOA members are independent contractors, not employees of GHSA.  The GHSA is a member of the National Federation of State High School Associations. GISOA also works closely with the Georgia High School Swimming Coaches Association.   All GISOA officials are also members of the Georgia Athletic Officials Association (GAOA).

Many GISOA members are also certified by the College Swimming Officials Association. Certified members regularly work college meets at Emory University. This institution is a member of the NCAA.  Our officials also work the University Athletic Association conference meet, the Sun Belt conference meet, NCAA Division III Men's and Women's meets as well as NCAA Division I Men's and Women's meets.

New members are always welcome! Training takes place in October and/or November of each year since the NCAA and Georgia high school seasons are both winter: October - March for college and November - February for high school.  However, we maintain a prospective new members list at all times.
