The upcoming October Splash swim meet provides a great opportunity
to train new swimming officials. A number of current
officials will be leaving GSC as their swimmers graduate high
school (or enter high school this fall) and GSC is in need of
fresh, energetic, and committed swim parents or relatives to
step in and help oversee swim meets and time trials.
Each session at a swim meet requires at least 6 officials and
championship meets requires many more. The Stroke and Turn
officials observe the swimming technique of swimmers to ensure that
they are within the rules of USA Swimming. To become a
stroke and turn official, you must attend a stroke and turn clinic
(such as this one which has a discussion and video demonstrating
the different strokes), participate in 4 training walks, take an
online test (which we do in class so everyone should get 100%), and
be a non-athelete member of USA Swimming (though not to attend the
clinic or do the training walks). It is a great way to
participate in the swimming activities and the best way
to learn the requirements of each stroke.
If you plan to attend, please let me know so I will have enough
tests to pass out.
Thanks and hope to see you there. John Clark
