PARENTS: While we spend a lot of time training the children and furthering their progress in competitions, none of these gala's could take place without officials. When we hold our own gala's. and attend others, we are expected to provide at least one official for the event. At the moment in Southport, we are very short of Level 1 Judges. As parents you spend a great deal of time watching swimming gala's, why not help out on the pooside at the same time? There is funding in place to pay for the training of officials, and this training generally takes place fairly locally. Below is the description of Level 1 Judges requirements:

Judge Level 1

This is the first level of British qualification. It encompasses the role and duties of a Timekeeper, Chief Timekeeper and Inspector of Turns.

The minimum age to start training is 15 years. Candidates will be required to undertake some formal theory instruction and gain practical experience working on the poolside with a mentor. A course workbook is provided for completion after which there will be a practical assessment.

During the practical assessment candidates will be required to answer questions orally. Upon qualification candidates will be attributed with the qualification Judge Level 1 on the British Swimming Database and will be encouraged to become a Licensed Official.

If you would like to learn more about becoming a Level 1 Judge check out the ASA web site or speak to Mark, Helen or Elaine Cooke (who has just completed the course).
