Dive into Officiating: Your Role is Vital to Our Swim Community!
Dear GHAC Swim Community,
We hope this message finds you in great spirits and excited about the upcoming swim season. We're reaching out to you today to highlight an essential aspect of our swimming community - our dedicated swimming officials. They are the backbone of our organization, and our swim meets simply can't run without them.
We can't emphasize enough how crucial your role as an official is to the success of our swim meets and the development of our young swimmers. Your expertise and dedication ensure that our events are conducted fairly, efficiently, and with the highest level of integrity. Your support is invaluable, and we deeply appreciate your contributions.
To get started all it takes is a simple step - filling out an official application form. This will provide you with a Swimming Canada account, allowing you to complete the initial official courses online at your own pace.
We want to address a common question: "Do I need to reapply if I've officiated before?" The answer is yes. We kindly request that you fill out the form for each person in your household who is interested in officiating. This helps us keep our records updated and ensures we have the most accurate information about our officiating team.
For those of you with swimmers in our Novice/Advanced Lessons, Senior Development, or Masters swim programs, officiating is not mandatory. However, we highly encourage you to consider becoming an official, as your contributions can make a significant difference in the lives of our young swimmers.
In our Junior Development, Junior Development Select, Junior Performance, Junior Performance Select, and Senior Performance Programs, it is a requirement that each swimmer have at least one parent or guardian registered and trained as an official. This not only fulfills an organizational requirement but also enables you to be more involved in your child's swim journey.
We genuinely thank you in advance for considering or continuing your involvement as an official. Your commitment and dedication are the cornerstone of our swimming community, and we couldn't do it without you.
If you have any questions, need assistance, or would like more information, please don't hesitate to contact us at
[email protected].
Together, we make our swim meets unforgettable and inspiring for our young athletes. We look forward to welcoming you on board as an official and working together for another successful season.
