We are in desperate need of officials both “wet and dry”.  Our younger swimmers are aging up and our officials are moving with them.  We currently have 1 official for the 12 and under group and 4 for the 13 and over age groups.  We have two Administrative officials for the older group and none for the 12 and unders.  3 officials and an AO are needed to make a meet legal.  Offering to become certified as an official does not require you to be at every meet or every session.  Currently the officials you see at every meet are there to make meets legal for all the team members. Many hands make for light work.  The more we have the less you will see the same officials at every meet.  Please consider joining our fun group.  We truly have the best seats in the house and are the best people to work with!  Any questions, see Megan Dixson.
