Open Water J1 and Safety Officer / Safety Rep Training

on Sunday, 11 July 2021.

27th July/28th July 2021

The Scottish Open Water Committee is holding online training workshops for Safety Officer and Safety Rep and for Open Water Judge 1.

Application for these is by logging into the Scottish Swimming website (entry is via Azolve).  Links below.

Safety Rep training is ideal for those whose clubs are considering undertaking Open Water Training and operates in parallel with the OW Swimming Training Guidance issued by Scottish Swimming, as well as leading to the full Safety Officer qualification for those who wish to progress to that level.  Open Water Judge 1 is the entry level for Open Water Technical Officials.  Both were very well received by those who attended the pilot workshops last month.
