Regional Swimming Official’s Online Forums 2021
Swim England East Region has hosted a series of Swimming Official’s Online Forums at the beginning of June. The forums were organised to assist our officials in preparation for their return back to returning to officiating after a 15 month absence on poolside. To this end we arranged three forums to refresh our knowledge and procedures to act as a confidence booster before our return to poolside.
The following forums were delivered virtually by Zoom on the below dates:-
- Tuesday 1 June 21 @ 7.30pm Swimming Officials Online Forum for all qualified officials
- Tuesday 8 June 2021 @ 7:30pm Swimming Officials Online Forum for qualified Starters
- Sunday 13 June 2021 @ 10.30am Swimming Officials Online Forum for qualified Referees
It was strongly recommended that all participants click the link to access and watch the following FINA swimming officiating videos before returning back to poolside.
