Referee Success for Nigel »
Nigel Utting has successfully passed the final evaluation on his Swimming Officials Referees course. The course is widely recognised as being extreemely demanding and we therefore congratulate Nigel on his achievement. He joins Jo Banham, who is also a fully qualified referee, at the club and this puts us in a very enviable position when it comes to training our exsisting and new swimming officials. If you are interested in training to become an official, the swimmers do rely on there being a fair number at a gala, please see Jo or Nigel and they will be very happy to discuss the training that we are able to offer.
