Officials
Lifesaving Sport Officials are key to the effective running of Lifesaving Sport sanctioned competitions. The Lifesaving Society has three levels of Officials training. - Officials Level 1 prepares volunteers with basic competitive lifesaving officiating skills. Volunteers are trained to act as a Marshall, Announcer, Timer, Runner, Ribbon Handler, Scorekeeper, and Equipment Mover during a lifesaving competition.
- Officials Level 2 provides volunteers with officiating skills requiring judgment and problem solving skills. Volunteers will act as a Clerk of Course, Chief Timer, Starter, Referee, Stroke & Turn Judge, Chief Scorer, and Equipment Manager during a lifesaving competition.
- Officials Level 3 provides volunteers with the information and skills required to organize a Lifesaving Sport competition. Volunteers are trained to coordinate and manage the logistics involved in running a successful sanctioned competition.
Parents, siblings, coaches, volunteers, or avid fans of Lifesaving Sport events are encouraged to take their Officials training. Anyone 12 years of age or older can become an Official; previous experience is not required. If you are interested in becoming an accredited Lifesaving Sport Official please contact the Lifesaving Society office. The Society will provided you with course dates and times, and enrolment information. Officials training often corresponds with sanctioned competitions. Officials Training Criteria
