Hello!

We're excited to have your swimmers joining us this summer for the Willis Waves. I am sending this to everyone, even if you didn’t indicate you were interested in being a stroke-and-turn judge/starter for us. Please take a few minutes to read the whole email.

For each meet, we have to provide 2 stroke-and-turn judges, but the past 2 years we had enough that we had 4 and they traded out halfway through. I would like to do that again this summer! I currently have 3 and would like to have at least 2 more that are trained so we can cover when families go on vacation, etc.

We also need to have a starter for all of our home meets. We already have a parent that volunteered to be our head starter, but I would like to find one more parent that is willing to go to training. This second parent would be the starter’s assistant for most meets, but again would be a backup for vacations, etc.

If you are new to stroke and turn, the league is holding a training session at the TK Gregg pool on 5/3 from 2-3pm. After the session there is a simple quiz you take. Then in future years you only have to do the quiz.

If you are interested in the starter training, that will be at the TK Gregg pool on 5/3 from 3-4pm.

Please let me know if you are interested in either of these training sessions so I can let the league know you will be attending.

If you are a returning stroke-and-turn judge we only need you to take this test. :)

If you scroll down about halfway there is a link that says "stroke and turn judge training" (DQ slips are also there for you to look at).

Thanks!
