Our Officials

what do they do?

Our officials are a key part of our swimming community. Without officials, swimming simply wouldn’t exist – and in the Waikato, we’re lucky to have some of New Zealand’s best!

They call themselves a ‘family’ and they give up literally hours of their time each year to support the delivery of swim meets throughout the Waikato. Many of our officials’ children have long since left the sport but continue to give up their weekends to help us deliver swimming events, understanding the importance of the role they play and enjoying giving back to the communities where they live.

Our officials are led by our technical panel – qualified officials for many years and are hugely experienced in all things swimming!
