Gerry named a FINA Swimming Official


Congratulations to Gerry Metcalf (Biggleswade SC), who has recently been appointed to the FINA Swimming Officials list as a starter until December 2024.

FINA appointments are a huge honour for any individual and a recognition of the quality of the officials that we have in Bedfordshire. We look forward to seeing Gerry on poolside at International Meets as soon as possible.

Swimming Officials: Update - April 2021



We are starting on the journey to get back to business, returning to poolside gradually, to whatever the new normal will be in the short term.

Return to Competition Guidance
 
Swim England has now released its Return to Competition guidance  ahead of the country moving into Step 3, which is due to take place no earlier than Monday 17 May. You may well have seen some of the headlines from that document and the specific dates for the return to competition. The document is Swim England’s Roadmap showing how we as a sport intend to move from the Return to Training to a Return to Competition in five stages.
 
The release of the Return to Competition guidance will be followed up with a webinar on 21 April to provide event promoters with further support and guidance and to answer any specific questions they may have when considering how to plan and stage a meet/gala. The role of the Promoter and Management team will be crucial in ensuring the safety of all our Athletes and volunteers.
 
If you have not read the document, please take time to read it, as In line with the Government’s own gradual easing of restrictions, the return to competition will need to be similarly phased  and, with social distancing and face masks remaining in place until at least late June, it is unlikely that any galas this season will resemble galas of old. There are sections that refer to officials and volunteers.
 
As we move forward to returning to the water and competitions in the coming weeks, subject to the Prime Minister’s roadmap and the lifting of England's restrictions, as the Regional Officials’ Manager I am looking to assist our officials and competition volunteers. I can see that it could be quite an anxious time for our volunteers, and I would like to provide support, guidance and advice. 
 
The Region will be running some online zoom drop-in forums and nearer to our return to competition, Q&A meetings for judges, and one for referees, for our Regional technical swimming officials. I intend to advertise these on the Regional website, via this newsletter and via County Official’s coordinators. Official’s will be able to register via a weblink to receive information to join the online forums.
 
FINA Officiating Videos
 
I have attached a weblink below to access and view the FINA Swimming Officiating videos which might help you refresh your knowledge before you return to poolside.
