Greetings!
Become a meet official or just learn the rules of Masters swimming. John King will be holding an officials clinic this week in Walnut Creek.
I noticed at the Alan Liu Memorial meet this past weekend that when swimmers hit the top of the touch pad, the touch pad did not respond. Swimmers should try to hit the middle of the touch pad - center top to bottom and center left to right - hitting the touch pad in the right spot could mean getting that time you have been working for (and beating your rival).
Pacific Masters Swimming welcomes anyone who would like to gain and maintain fitness through swimming and encourages programs to foster this mission.
Fun, Fitness & Competition Kind regards,
-michael

Become a meet official
or just learn the swim rules
this Wednesday
John King, the PacMasters Officials chair, is holding an officials clinic at Club Room at Heather Farms for the Officials Clinic on September 28 from 6:30PM to 8PM.
The location is the same as our (every other) face to face monthly meeting. The clinic is appropriate for both the beginner as well as the experienced official who would like to brush up on his skills. John will focus on the rules as they pertain to each of the strokes. There will be some video with examples of correct stroke technique as well as stroke infractions. He will also review the DQ slip. The clinic will count as a Pacific Masters Officials Clinic as a part of the certification process.
