Stroke and Turn Training

    Princemont Swim League(PMSL) will once again be utilizing the USA Swimming officials' training course this year for Stroke & Turn.  This course is a one-time $35 fee and can be used to become or recertify as a USA-S certified stroke and turn.  

     

    Please note that you will first need to create a logon with USA-S (USA-Swimming) if you do not already have one.  There are TWO courses that must be completed to become Stroke & Turn certified:

    1.  Foundations of Officiating

    2. Stroke & Turn Certification

Referee/Starter/CJ Training requires pre-registration. The course will be held on the following dates:

     Tuesday June 3rd at 7 PM
