Parents and Grandparents spend a great deal of time attending swimming galas supporting the children and the team. By becoming a qualified timekeeper and Judge 1 (J1) you can make attending galas a more worthwhile experience and also get great insights into the swimming skills we are teaching your children.

BSC are looking for Parents/Carers and/or Grandparents to help the children and club by becoming officials. This will also help us to run our own events as licensed meets and enter other meets, as in some cases clubs ask us to provide an official as a condition of allowing us to enter the event.

How hard is it to do? The initial training is attendance of three short sessions, after which you will then have to be mentored whilst working an an official. These could be at meets you were attending anyway.

Does it cost me anything? No. BSC will pay your course fees.

Further information on becoming an official is available from the ASA website officials page.

Our Chairman, Phil Bird and Membership Secretary, Lee Samwell are currently taking their J1 qualification and would be happy to discuss what is required.

To register your interest please contact Pat Reed or Phil Bird.

Regards

Pat Reed on behalf of the BSC Committee
