Dear Blazer Families,
We need officials! If you think swimming may be part of your life for the next few years, please consider volunteering as an official.
Why become a Swimming Official?
It's a rewarding opportunity to support your swimmer, gain a better understanding of swimming, have the best spot on deck to watch your swimmer race, meet a great group of people while completing your volunteer hours. There are no prerequisites in terms of your time on the team, the age and experience level of your swimmer, or prior swimming participation in your younger years.
The minimum requirements are that a person must be 18 years or older, can pass a background check, complete the training, and volunteer your time at swim meets. Certification is gained in four steps, which can be completed independently: Become a member of USA Swimming, Attend a Stroke & Turn (S&T) Clinic, Complete the S&T online test and shadow at meets. To learn more, check out MV LSC Become an Official or USA Swimming.
If you are interested in learning more, please contact Bill Gazda at [email protected].
Thank you to our registered officials for the 2024-2025 Season.
