Becoming an official is a great way to learn the sport, contribute to the team, and help swimmers improve.  Most meets require 13 officials per session to run smoothly.  Since most meets have 4 sessions over 2 days, that's 52 officiating slots per meet!

There are different types of positions, so you're sure to find something that appeals to you:

• Wet Deck Officials - Stroke and Turn judges (can advance to chief judge, starter and referee)

You receive training and are required to pass a test and shadow an experienced official until you are ready to do it on your own.  What do you have to lose?

Please contact Mike Burrows (757) 645-7640 or Harold Baker (757-229-8662) if you think you're interested or have any questions.
