2) Great news for the 2020 seniors who missed the summer league season!
19 Year Old Eligibility - The Nwal board voted in favor of allowing 19 year old swimmers to participate this season with the following restrictions: a. They have to have actively participated on YOUR team in the 2019 season. b. The swimmer will have to have an approved waiver, submitted through NWAL Certified. c. The swimmer would then receive a letter of approval from NWAL Eligibility to be presented upon request at any meet they attend. d. The swimmer cannot be a paid NWAL coach. This exception is for the 2021 season only. 

If your swimmer is interested in participating in the 2021 season please contact me.

3) NWAL Certified (www.nwalcertified.com) is up an running. Returning officials can log in to get active, and new officials and returning officials looking to increase their certification (SNT to Starter and Starter to Ref) can now sign up for classes. All lecture portions of the classes are online this year with the only on-deck requirement being for Starters. Anyone taking the Starter class would be required to take the online lecture, then take the on-deck after the lecture. They can sign up for both classes at the same time. The lectures are still live classes, not videos. The participants need to be able to get logged in to the GoToMeeting and be present for the entire class to get credit. There is a Power Point with videos involved so they need to use a laptop or desktop computer. Our testing showed that video quality on a phone or ipad does not transmit well. Anyone with questions should email [email protected]. Referee recertification tests are now active as well.
