OFFICIALS

Officials' Commitment

Swim meets, as well as being an essential part of the sport of swimming, are an important source of funds for all swim clubs, including ours. If you think about it, every meet we and our kids attend is run entirely with volunteers. Officials are present at all competitions to implement the technical and administrative rules of swimming, thus ensuring that the competition is fair and equitable to everyone. Without this commitment from the families of swimmers, the sport could not survive. As a parent of a swimmer, you have the opportunity to be involved with your child and his sport in a variety of ways. One instrumental way of contributing to the success of the program is by volunteering your time and effort.
