2010 Gulf Swimming Officials Clinics

Parents - The Gulf Officials Clinic information has been posted. All of the meets our swimmers participate in are ran by volunteers; this includes officials for the meets. The GULF is known for its great meet reputation through out Texas and southern LSC's. Most of this reputation is credited to the healthy supply of officials at our USA meets. With RICE Aquatics now having over 185 swimmers registered it is important that we have multiple officials for our team. Our goal is to have 5 officials in training or certified for the 2010/2011 season. New officials will have a training period where they assist a current registered official at meets. If you are interested in becoming an official please contact the clinic you wish to attend and CC me on the email. Officials are always eager to teach new volunteers and welcome them on deck.
