Dear Parents,

Our team is in need of Stroke and Turn (SNT) Officials, Starter (STR), and Referees, you will need to start with SNT then you can take additional certifications for STR and Referee.

If you are interested, please create and account at the NWAL Certified webpage http://nwalcerified.com select a SNT class, you will need to select the Lecture and On Deck class, after taking the classes you will need to take a test that is an open book test.

Also, any volunteer that is in contact with the swimmers needs to take a background check at https://sterlingvolunteers.com there is a $18.00 fee to run your background check, you will need to do this before the season before you take the test.

Officials have lots of perks, free lunch at all dual meets, close parking spaces at all meets, $100.00 gift card your first year, $50.00 each year afterwards. Free NWAL polo shirts if you volunteer as an official at invitationals, with free breakfast and lunch. You will also fulfill your volunteer hours and will get your deposit back.

If you decide to get certified and have any questions, I am available by message at my cellphone 713-918-9940.
