The Swim England North East Region are pleased to offer an opportunity for Young Leaders to be part of a competition officiating training, education and development opportunity for the 2022/23 season.

The programme is available for young adults aged from 14 years of age upwards who are part of a Swim England North East Region affiliated club like KUHSC.

The initiative looks to:

• Offer the opportunity to learn the roles of being an official in their chosen aquatic discipline.
• Enable them to take their first steps on the Swim England/British Swimming officiating pathway.
• Provide a volunteering opportunity which will enable them to give something back to their sport and meet other like-minded young leaders from across the region.
• Train them in an additional aquatic skill that can keep them active in an area they may not haven previously considered.
• Provide the opportunity to learn the different roles involved in officiating at a competition and have a go at being an official with other Young Leaders under the guidance and support of experience officials.
• Provide practical experience of officiating at a competition within the North East Region.

Young Leaders who are interested in being involved should register their interest directly at: Young Leader Officiating Registration. If any assistance is required, please contact David Parry, NE Region Development Officer on david.parry@swimnortheast.org or 07949251482.

The second day of the Lower Age Group Yorkshires was as exciting as the first. Ponds Forge may have been ‘even’ warmer but the medals kept on coming and there were truly astounding PBs in all age groups. Thank-you to the coaches for supporting the swimmers poolside.

A big well-done all round!! 👏👏
