use to communicate between our on deck people and the people coordinating
the swimmers in an adjacent gym.

We'd also like to communicate between the starter and the score table.

We tried, with little success, using FRS radios.

Officials using radio comms at meets I've been at during the past few
decades almost all had a little box on their belt and a
single-headphone-with-boom-mike gadget. These are (or were) a common radio
shack item, though I rather suspect they are also available from other
sources, and perhaps from other manufacturers. The boxes I looked at had
some sort of volume control, a switchable vox, and a push-to-talk button;
they used a PP9 battery, and officials at one end of a 50 metre pool could
talk to the scorers in an office adjacent to the other end.

I use Motorola Radius two way systems with the work I do. I use them with
an ear bud and push to talk switch. They work extremely well and have great
distance. They would work well in a swim setting as well.
