STROKE & TURN TRAINING CLINIC - MAY 10th

Hi Dolphin Family, we are hosting a 2 hour Stroke & Turn training session the evening of May 10th, 6PM in room 2 at CUP.  As a club we have very few certified S & T officials to assist at our meets.  Most people do not know that stroke & turn judges do not disqualify swimmers, they simply report what they have seen to the head referee who will determine if an infraction has taken place & rule accordingly.  The referee, not the judge, makes this decision & the benefit of the doubt always goes to the swimmer.  In addition, after the training seminar, the new judge must participate at two official meets being mentored by a qualified judge before being certified.  (Example the dequal meet on the 12th as an example of this)  I have taken this training & plan to retake it on the 10th.  The videos shown are very clear & helpful as part of the training.  There is no need to preregister just join us on the evening of the 10th of May.  Thanks,
Awards Night Dinner is scheduled for the evening of June 5th at Credit Union Place.  More details to follow shortly but please reserve the date
