We are running a Swimming Official J1 training course at HARTSDOWN commencing in June – All it takes is attendance at three 2-hour evening sessions from 6-8pm and then on-the-job experience and mentoring – PLEASE consider signing up.  We cannot run galas without officials – we need a minimum of 20 Officials per gala session to maintain a gala licence for times to go onto rankings.  We need as many parents to sign up as possible, to share the load – thank you!
