PLEASE BE AWARE – it is now compulsory for all coaches nationally, and any team managers and Technical Officials attending National Events to be vetted by Swimming NZ. Please ensure that any of your members needing accreditation for access to pool deck at Nationals have a police vet no more than 3 years old, loaded into their Accreditations.
It is also a REQUIREMENT of Swimming Waikato Clubs to undertake Police Vetting for any of its members, either Coaching, Team Managing or of any persons who are responsible for the health and safety of your Club’s swimmers, at away meets or camps.
Clubs need to be aware that they are responsible for police vetting their Assistant and Volunteer coaches.
All clubs should now have an approved vetting agent who is authorised to undertake all vetting for the club. Clubs can only do police vets for attendance at club and regional level meets as mentioned above, attending national meets requires a Swimming NZ police vet.
If your club does not have a police vetting agent, Officials are asked to apply directly to SNZ using the link below.
Any police vet requires the person being vetted to have a profile in the SNZ Database.
Technical Officials – If you are only attending local and regional meets, Swimming Waikato can process your police vet. If you are planning to attend a national meet in the next 3 years, then please go through Swimming NZ for your police vet using the link below.
