Kingsbury Aquarius Swimming Club committee is pleased to announce that the club has achieved revalidation for Swim21.’

 

 

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR

 

We desperately need more people to come forward to train as officials - timekeepers, judges, referees, recorders etc. There are currently no licensed club officials from the junior squad - which means that our senior squad officials - and old friends - are having to turn out at galas where we need to supply officials - which is most of them! We should be "growing our own" from all of our swimmers so that we have a good supply - this way, we can spread out duties more.

 

Will any parents/carers/friends and supporters who are willing to have a go contact Hayley, Lorraine or myself and we can point you in the right direction. It is largely "on the job training" and there is no cost.

 

Please volunteer - we need to increase our numbers on this.

 

Thank you.

Judy Tullett
