There are a wide range of officials that are required to run an approved swimming meet. We need three Time Keepers per lane, a Chief Time Keeper, Inspectors of Turns, Judges of Strokes, Starter, Referee as well of many other helpers including recorders and marshalls.
It is a very important role as without these officials at a meet it will not be approved by Swimming New Zealand, this would mean that times swum by competitors would not be able to be used for qualifying times to attend other regional or national meets. That is why Swimming Taranaki values our volunteers so highly.
If you are interested in helping with any of these or becoming a qualified technical official you can approach your local club or Swimming Taranaki directly taranakiswimming@gmail.com who will put you in touch with the appropriate Technical team member.
