Call for applications from new Water Polo Officials

Swim England is committing to recruiting and supporting water polo volunteers and is inviting applications to help shape the structure of officiating.

The Swim England Water Polo Management Group recognises the need to deliver clearly structured qualifications, meaningful officiating experiences and continuing development opportunities.

Swim England’s Water Polo Development Manager, Andy Fuller, said: “After reviewing the current offering, it has been decided to push forward with engaging a number of technical experts from the water polo community to support the development and delivery of a modern training programme for technical officials.

“The aim is to support the needs of those who want to volunteer in our sport through creating greater access to training and education to progress through the pathway.

“We anticipate that this will be an extensive project as we aim to work with as many partners as possible to create sustainable and effective training programmes.

“We have identified priorities and will be focusing on referee and table officials in the initial stages of this development.”
