Parents,

We are seeking at least 12 Stroke and Turn judges to volunteer for our 2019 season. To qualify, you simply have to attend ONE of the three clinics listed below to learn the rules and become certified. If we hit our goal of 12 certified judges, the time commitment at each meet will be easy, as judges will be able to rotate and not work an entire meet. Please consider attending for your very own front row seat poolside at meets as a stroke and turn judge!

RULES & POOLSIDE CLINICS

Same information given at the three Rules Clinics:

IMPORTANT NOTE: all returning officials must recertify at their current level then attend an additional clinic if they plan to move up and work a different position.

A judge cannot attend JUST the poolside clinic and expect to be certified this summer. You must attend one of the 3 scheduled Rules Clinics. The poolside clinic is for practicing what was previously learned at a Rules Clinic in May.

New starters & refs will work with the Head League Official on cadence, verbiage, and the electronic start system with Dolphin timing system.
