ASA OFFICIALS

Club timekeepers Sonja Ballingall - Volunteer co-ordinator

Would any of our older swimmers or parents like to qualify as an ASA official? I am looking for volunteers to qualify as a ‘Club timekeeper’. Anyone 14 years old or over can apply.

Judges 1

In order for the children to compete at a gala we need qualified officials to help. Without these officials the children cannot compete. The ASA have recently revised the officials training and I shall be organising a course, which will be open to all local clubs, in the New Year. There will be a group workshop where your course leader explains what is expected from the candidates. You will then gain practical experience at galas and attend a further two workshops. The final review is meeting a nominated referee or another course tutor on a one to one. Once you have completed your workbook a final assessment will be arranged for you to gain the Judge 1 certificate.

Judges 2

If you are already qualified as a timekeeper and would like to further your swimming officials career how about taking the Judges 2 course – the course will be run along similar lines to the Judges 1 course

If you are interested please call, email or speak with me. We shall be running Personal Challenge in the New Year and this is an ideal opportunity to gain some practical experience.
