Hi, Whetstone Whales Parents!

This is an open invitation to all parents to become certified as a Whetstone Whales swim official!  Officials (stroke & turn judge, starter, and referee) are essential to ensuring fair and equitable competition for all swimmers. We are especially in need of new stroke and turn judges to help cover all of our A and B meets and relay carnivals.

The certification process is easy, mentored, and free! (See the attached flyer).  Registration is now open for the online (or in-person) 2-hour training clinic that is the first step of certification.  Click here for the schedule of Summer 2024 training events, which begin this evening and continue through June 12. 

Also, a warm welcome to returning swim officials!  Thank you for your continued service to our team!  This is a reminder that if you were certified in or before 2022, you'll need to recertify.  Simply register for one of the training clinics that is oriented to recertifying your position. 

I'll be at the Ice Cream Social on Friday to hand out flyers and answer your questions.  In the meantime, you can contact me via the Whetstone Whales email (WhetstoneWhales @ gmail.com) or directly at Lperine @ gmail.com (remove spaces).

Thank you and hope to see you on deck!

Summer 2024 Officials Coordinator
