Hello Rapids families. As discussed at orientation last week, our DUSO head official, Jason Young, will be offering one more officials training. The training will be held remotely for one hour tomorrow, June 18 and trainees will then shadow a veteran official for three meets. This is an important part of summer swim and becoming an official and officiating at meets does fulfill your volunteer work requirement for the summer. Any questions can be directed to Jason Young at [email protected]  

Here is the information, again, from Jason:

Welcome to the 2024 DUSO season.

We are offering two virtual official clinics this year which are
mandatory if you are not a USA/YMCA certified officials. You only
have to attend one of the two clinics. The first clinic will be held
on June 10th at 6:00 pm. The other clinic will be held on June 18th
at 7:00 pm. Both clinics will be offered virtually. The clinic will
be just like in years past; we will review the strokes, have a
question and answer period and finish with a short exam.

Please let me know which clinic you will be attending. Also if you
know of anyone who would like to officiate this year please pass along
this information. I have included a link to the videos if you could
please review before the clinic.

Our DUSO site has some videos which are important
