The Swimming NSW Technical Committee, with guidance from the Area Technical Swimming Committee Coordinators, will select up to 20 Technical Officials each year to participate in the Swimming NSW Referee Course from January – November, and aim for the candidates to complete their Level 1 Referee Assessment by then.
Please note: The normal Referee Accreditation process will still occur outside of this Course. i.e. it is not a requirement to complete this Course to become a Referee.
Webinars or face to face sessions every 6-8 weeks throughout the year, with some course work to be completed between the sessions. The course will also feature guest presenters and include a curriculum aimed at preparing the candidates to be competent Referees and sourcing a Mentor.
To be eligible for this course, candidates must meet the following criteria:
- Swimming NSW Member
- Valid Working with Children Check
- Hold 4 current Technical Official accreditations (plus Community Officiating Essential Skills).
