Good Morning!

We are in desperate need of Stroke & Turn certified judges for the summer.  As of now, we only have Brian Daniels listed as officially certified, and he is typically in another certified role for swim meets.    Fortunately, the certification process is now ONLINE--no in person classes required!  Certification lasts for three years.   We are required to have at least two judges from our team for each meet--please, please help!  If you have any questions, please text or e-mail me:

Stroke & Turn

New in 2025 GKAISA has moved to an online clinic and testing procedure for Stroke & Turn Officials. The new service is hosted on a website appropriately named strokeandturn.com. This online service is a resource for learning the rules of swimming. The online clinic will contain full explanations of the rules as well as video content to test the Official’s understanding and application of the rules. The service will remain available to the Official for one year following initial login. During that time the Official is able to review the information at any time and has access to a test, which must be passed at no lower than a score of 80%. The Official will have unlimited opportunities to take the test to reach the 80% requirement. Upon completion and successful testing the Official will retain the ability to return to the site to review the information and continue to learn. The certification will be valid for three years following completion at which time a recertification, consisting of the full clinic and test will be required. In order to obtain a license for the class please email Nick Hall at [email protected]. You will receive a numerical key granting you access to the clinic. Instructions to login and use the key follow:

• 1) Navigate to the strokeandturn.com website
• 2) Activate the key using the ‘Activate Key’ link at the top of the page

• 3) With your key activated and subsequent account created you will have access to the ‘2025 Stroke and Turn Learning Course’. Access the course and complete the clinic and subsequent test.
  • No further action is needed as we will have league access to monitor all licensed activity for course progress and test completion.
