Officials Corner:

The USA Swimming 2024 Rule Book lays out the standards that officials apply.  But as a volunteer official, would you need to memorize every rule in the book?  No – most officials serve as Stroke and Turn judges, who focus on pages 21-25.  That’s it, just a few pages!  If volunteering as an official interests you, please reach out to Osa Wolff, PST’s officials coordinator.

 

Before Signing Up for a Swim Meet:

Please re-read our email and Job Description/Procedures from January 13th, read our Service Hour Policyonce again and have a look at our website for job description and policies before signing your swimmer up for a swim meet.
