We need parents to become officials! Why should you want to and what are the benefits?
1. You have the best seat in the house! You can talk with your swimmer(s)
2. Your annual registration fees and all training costs are covered by our team
3. For every meet that you work, the team will cover the meet fees for 1 swimmer
4. It fulfills your volunteer requirement for our team! And, you don't have to time either!
5. You learn about the sport of swimming and make good friends!
6. You provide AMAZING exposure for our team. We have been recognized as a team that has several more officials for our size than some large teams do. This shows our commitment to our children!
Please contact Coach Amy or Brian Newcomb for more information. Yes, Coach Amy has been an official for the past 10 years even though she rarely works!
