Technical Official Pathway
We are proud to share our officiating pathway, designed to assist with continual development opportunities that support them as officials and their life outside of swimming too. We are committed to creating positive swimming experiences in our sport, and officials play a vital role in creating these opportunities for our swimmers and help them go racing.
The pathway has three streams, so there is an opportunity to suit you.
✅  Pool Deck
✅  Control Room
✅ Open Water
