Congratulations to one of our NCS Athlete Reps, Julia Strunk. Julia has been swimming for 11 years, and has recently become the 1st JR. Official for North Carolina Swimming. Julia comments “When I was first told there was an opportunity for swimmers to volunteer, I was very excited. I wanted to be an official to give back to the sport, and I am honored to be a part of such an amazing community. Being an official is very important to a swimmer’s development.” If you are 16 or 17 and are interested in becoming a Jr. Official please email ncswimofficials@gmail.com.
