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.

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.
