Upon completion of the workshop, participants are required to become members of Swimming WA as a Technical Official (contact your Registrar to organise this). Once a member you are required to attend meets for practical experience with a mentor/assessor. 

We highly recommend you attend the Country Pennants Meet (country participants) or the League Championships meet to start your practical requirements.
