Neptune Swimming Officials Information Page
Our team is in desperate need of more officials for upcoming meets. Officiating is an excellent way to support our swimmers, gain detailed knowledge about the sport, get unobstructed views, and earn $30 credit per session to offset club fees. Being an official also removes the need for volunteer hours (as long as you stay active)!
The first step to becoming an official is letting us know you are interested! You have already done that!
The next steps are to:
Attend Training Clinic
Attend a beginning Stroke & Turn training clinic. The clinic includes instruction, discussions, and a USA Swimming-produced video tape on judging strokes, turns, and relay takeoffs. Zones conduct mini stroke and turn clinics throughout the year or you can attend the LSC Officials Clinic held every October.
