Summerside Dolphins Swim Club

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,
