Hello, Demon Families!!  

We are in desperate NEED of Meet Officials for the 2022 Season!  These positions include Starter, Referee and Stroke and Turn Judges. (See below for descriptions) Each position requires a free, online certification that lasts for two seasons.  Please contact Mike Bennett or Mara Csokmay if you are willing and interested. 

Thanks so much, 
Your Swim Team Committee

• *Referee (certification needed) - The home team provides the referee. They are responsible for running the meet. They are the final arbiters of all decisions and questions regarding the meet. They sign off on all stroke and turn violations. Referees work directly with the starter, stroke and turn officials, timers, coaches, and team reps. During “B” meets, divisional and relay carnivals, extra referees may also be used to help with stroke and turn violations at the opposite end of the pool to keep the meet running smoothly. Referees must be certified as a stroke and turn official.
• *Starter (certification needed) - The visiting team provides the starter. The starter is responsible for starting the event (sounding the horn), announcing the event to the swimmers and making sure the start is clean. Starters must be certified as a stroke and turn official.
• *Stroke and Turn Judge (certification needed) – Both teams provide two at all meets. Stroke and turn officials observe all starts, finishes, turns and strokes. Stroke and turn officials must have good eyesight and be knowledgeable of correct stroke and turn technique. They must be fair and impartial.
