Fair Catch
What is a valid fair catch signal?

I normally tell my return men "two times over your head". Today in discussing it with some other officials they told me that there is no need for the return man to go twice, and that as long as the arm was extended above their head, one swipe was enough.

The rule book says "..the extending and lateral waving of one arm..." - to me, that infers that an extension and swipe is not valid. Any thoughts?
