Urgent! Stroke and Turn Judges Needed!

Swim Team Families! We are in urgent need of some HELP . . .

After reviewing the volunteer sign up forms, we noticed that we do not have enough Stroke and Turn Judges.

At this point we only have 4 of the 15 spots covered and will have to forfeit any meet that we do not provide a stroke and turn judge. To run a meet smoothly we must provide 2-3 volunteers at each meet.

No experience necessary to become a Stroke & Turn Judge. Training provided!
  • Each volunteer would work a maximum of half of a meet.  
  • You don't have to have a swimming background to be a judge.  
  • You'll receive complete training assisted by a video tape with many examples that will provide all the information you need to be a judge.
  • If you have already volunteered in a different area, we can easily switch you.
Here are some reasons why you may want to consider becoming a Stroke and Turn Judge:
  • Great front row view of all events in the meet.
  • Small group training with Coach Jill and a CMSL referee at West Howard for less than an hour.
  • The great feeling that comes with volunteering.
You can practice with our own swimmers at time trials this Saturday (there is no official judging at time trials).

Please let Mary Pat or Lynda know if you are interested in helping in this area.
