[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought being a timer was bad, until I signed up for Stroke & Turn judge position. [/quote] I'd feel too badly about disqualifying so many kids. It's not a position I'd want.[/quote] Kids DQ themselves. It's part of the sport.[/quote] 2nd to this. It’s like feeling bad about calling a kid out on three swinging strikes. S&T is just the messenger. And 90something % of DQs should not be a surprise. [/quote] +3 S&T are helping the kids get better. Why put all the time and effort into swimming if you don’t want the feedback needed to improve? IME of many years doing S&T, the parents have a much harder time with it than the kids. I genuinely enjoy officiating. It’s a (mostly) great community of parents who care about helping kids. You get to learn something, it passes the time, and it’s necessary for the meets to happen.
