Get Certified for Stroke & Turn, Starter or Referee

We need your help. We can’t hold our swim meets without certified Stroke & Turn Judges, Starters, and Referees. Be part of the action, get the best spot for watching the meets, and fulfill your volunteer hours while supporting the team. It’s a win-win-win!

NVSL clinics are FREE and they’re a great way to familiarize yourself with the sport. We strongly encourage attendance for anyone interested in helping with officiating. No prior experience is required.
