Dear FISH Parents --
I'm glad to see a number of
FISH officials have signed up for some of the training clinics to be held in
Herndon during the Harvest Moon Meet (9-10 October 2010). If you have not
signed up yet and if you can, please take advantage of this opportunity.
Several clinics are offered at this meet, including Stroke and Turn, Starter,
CTS, and Hy-Tek. These sessions are great for re-certification or new
certification. If you are already a certified official, please consider working
toward additional certifications and bring a friend! These clinics are
convenient because they coincide with a meet that our team is attending and
it's relatively close to home for many of us. The Harvest Moon Invitational
Meet is a great developmental meet with several positions still open for
officials. This is a great meet for new as well as experienced officials to
kick off the season. Here is the link to the meet announcement: http://www.pvswim.org/1011meet/11-06-ma.pdf.
Please contact the meet referee, Jim Thompson (jimthompson5802@aol.com)
directly with questions or to let him know of your availability in advance.
Continuing Education and Recruiting
Please note that continuing education is a key component to all National level certification and LSC recertification. Please be sure to stay current with your continuing education requirements. Several officials' clinics are scheduled over the course of the next few months and they are listed on the PVS web site. As I mentioned before, we can also request an instructor to come to one of our team's training sites to hold a clinic at a time convenient for us. So, please let me know if you think that would be helpful.
As always, please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
See you on deck,
Al Meilus,
FISH
