Why D&G Swim Team Needs Officials

We always need more help – Our current officials are amazing, but in order for events to run and be licenced, the recruitment of officials is always ongoing. As our older swimmers and their parents move on, we need fresh faces to step up.

Having officials is a strict requirement – For some events like the Junior League etc. clubs must provide officials for their swimmers to compete.

Licensing our galas – More officials means we can license internal club galas, allowing swimmers’ times to be officially recorded with Swim England.

Details:

You’ll need to be a D&G Swim Team member and registered with the ASA (Swim England)

If you are already a qualified official, or are currently in training, do get in touch, we’d love to hear from you.
