It is time again to Schedule our High School Swim Clinics, we are excited and anticipate having a great Swim season.
PLEASE READ ALL THIS INFORMATION.
We all want our swimmers to have a great experience and to ensure our meets go well we need to have plenty of Swim Officials trained to run our meets. It is required that you take a clinic each year to certify as a High School Swim Official. Each clinic listed below will teach a Stroke and Turn portion (approximately 2.5 hours) and a Starter Referee portion (approximately 1 hour). Everyone must attend the stroke and turn portion of the clinic, but only those who will be a Starter or a Referee need to stay for the last portion of class. You must be at least 18 years of age and NOT a High School student to become an official. Please bring a pen, pencil and highlighter to class. Please note check in for each class will be 30 min prior to class start time. We need you to be on time so we can ensure you get all the information you need to be a good official.
**We will have two in water Demonstration Classes this year. One in Park City and one in Lehi. For those who are new or fairly new to the sport or would like some more hands on training please attend one of these clinics. Also USA SWIMMING has produced new Training Videos for each stroke, Look on www.usaswimming.org, dropdown Member services, look under officials click on Education Training, click on new Video resources. Although we do have some differences in our rules from USA these Video are excellent in introducing how officials should officiate each stroke, and introduce you to the world of swimming as an official. They also have a video on starting that is very informative. You can also find them on You Tube; Officials Training Videos by USA Swimming, 6 videos. **
Once you have completed a clinic your name will be put on the Officials List for the 2015-16 Season and will be posted on the Web site www.utswimcoach.com with your certification class. Coaches will run their meets from the list of certified officials or the meet will be invalid. Please make sure all your bases are covered, that your people attend the training they need. We have varied the dates to give two weeks of clinic dates to choose from to try to accommodate everyone. Try to have enough certified people to run your home meets. We will also notate those certified officials who are willing to work outside of their team.
Cost for a Clinic is $10.00. Checks can be made payable to UHSSOA (Utah High School Swim Officials Association.) Payment may be made when you check in at the start of the clinic. Coaches need to make arrangements with Robyn if they are paying for all their officials. Sorry we will not be able to allow anyone to go through the training without payment prior to the class starting. If in doubt we will have you pay, and you can work it out with your coach.
You will need to RSVP By e-mail to the class you will be attending five days prior to class. Each class will be capped to ensure proper instruction. You will receive a confirmation back from the instructor. If the class is full you will have to choose another location. Also if you can’t attend a class you have already sent an RSVP to please e-mail the instructor to cancel so your spot will be given to someone else. We need your name, school affiliation, phone # and an e-mail address so check in will go smoothly. Check in will start 30 min prior to class time unless noted. Class will start promptly on the hour. Please arrive early enough to check in and get your materials, so class can start on time. Please NO late comers.
If you have questions you may call or e-mail Robyn Peterson robynvpeterson@gmail.com 801- 404-6994 Officials uniform will be khaki pants (shorts or skirt) and a navy polo style shirt.
