In the Girls 8&Under 25M Backstroke, CountrySide standout Janika Perezous made it official this week, bettering the previous 34-year old record of 20.20 with a sparkling time of 19.97. Congratulations, Janika!

To keep their certifications current, CSL officials must attend clinics and pass appropriate tests at least every two years, as described in this detailed recertification document. Annual recertification is recommended.
New CSL officials, in addition to attending the clinic and passing the test, must work three (3) apprentice ("shadow") sessions and submit the Referee sign-off on cover sheet to the CSL Certification Manager.
Please refer to these 2011 Officials Certification Procedures to get yourselves up-to-date for the summer 2011 season.
And for your convenience, here is the 2011 Officials Test.
Finally, for your handy-handy reference, here is a compilation (as of July 21, 2011) of CSL officials certification information.
Updated versions of the CSL Meet Rules and the CSL Bylaws are now available in the Document Center. Revision summaries for 2011 can be found at the end of each document.
Everyone will want to take note of the new rule regarding swim caps. Also, officials, team reps and Hy-Tek operators will also want to make themselves aware of the rule change pertaining to the computer merge at Dual meets.
At Developmental meets this summer, CSL will be moving to a new event structure for 8&Unders. The intent of the change is to mitigate some of the problems we've had for years which are associated with the current 1/1A separation of 7-8s from 6&Unders.
From an end-user perspective (end user = parent or swimmer), there won't be much of a difference. Results and ribbons will be very much like they are now, with 6&Unders and 7-8s separated. However, volunteers will be affected in various ways.
For more details, please dive into our Powerpoint presentation on the subject, either in glorious color (suitable for online viewing) or in (easily downloadable and printable) black and white.
All general Hy-Tek materials for 2011 are now available in the Document Center.
Please navigate to Hy-Tek | 2011 folder and download, well,... just about everything.
The league no longer designates a specific day for all of CSL.
