If you are interested, and we really need your help, you can volunteer as a Stroke & Turn

official or starter. It is mandatory you attend one, two hour clinic to be able to officiate a meet (returning judges from the 2012 season must attend one of the sessions as well).

swim lessons so that they can be on the team next year.
