How to Become a Technical Official

With many of our parents some senior swimmers moving into new phases of their lives we are looking for more parents to come on board and help out.   With the launch of Swimming NSW’s online Training Courses for Technical Officials it has never been easier. 

Currently, the following courses are available online:-

Timekeeper and Chief Timekeeper

Marshal / Check Starter

Inspector of Turns

Judge of Strokes

Starter

Recorder


Once individuals have successfully completed the training (theory) they will receive a certificate to print out and take to their next Meet so they can be assessed (practical) to become fully accredited.

To view the courses as they become available please visit the Swimming NSW training pagehttps://nswtraining.swimming.org.au/

Here you will find step by step instructions on how to go about registering and carrying out your training.

 For further information please speak to either David or John at Club on any Saturday.
