Parents-

Every swim meet takes an army of volunteers to
operate. We use everyone to complete different tasks. Each meet we must
provide:

Scorers - keep track of the points and total
score

Referee - starts each event

Stroke and Turn Judges - watch the swimmers to
ensure strokes are performed officially

These are positions that require training
ahead of time which is run by Suburban Swim League (SSL). If these sound like
something you'd like to do to fulfill your volunteer commitment, please refer
to the Information below from SSL. All training via Zoom starting at 7pm. If
you are interested and able to attend, please email us - [email protected]. Please
let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you!

• To
  officiate at an SSL dual meet, time trials, and championships, the
  official is required to have attended an SSL officials class in the
  current season. Attendance at a previous year class or a lot of experience
  outside of SSL does NOT qualify the official to work an SSL meet.


• With
  the change to SSL rules for 2023, for an official to work as the Referee
  or Starter at an SSL meet, they must have attended a SSL Referee class in
  2023. Officials who have attended a SSL Referee class can work as a
  S&T Judge or as a Chief Judge. Officials can always work down, but not
  up in a higher-level position.


• All
  classes begin at 7:00 PM with the exception of the Referee classes. There
  are two parts of the Referee classes. From 6:30 to 7:00 PM, the class will
  be for officials who will be Refereeing for the first time. Starting at
  7:00 PM, the class will be for both officials who have refereed previously
  and those who attended from 6:30 to 7:00 PM.
