Stroke and Turn (officials)
Observe each race to ensure swimmers are in compliance with the rules of swimming. Should a violation occur, record the infraction and other necessary information on a disqualification slip.
Timers
There are two timers on each lane. Operate stopwatch to time each race; then if chosen, record result on lane/timesheet. Must be able to stand for the duration of the meet. This is the best spot to watch the action! No experience is necessary! Ages 12 and up and a great way for siblings to earn community service hours or for extended family & friends to get involved in that special swimmer’s life!
