Officials Support for Provincial Competitions Submission Swim Alberta understands that volunteers provide an invaluable service to the Alberta swimming community. A competition sanction requires that an active referee be present during all sessions of the competition. The position of referee takes years to achieve, many of whom volunteer for years after their swimmers’ career is complete. In addition to volunteering their time, referee’s often travel to competitions, which results in personal costs, including transportation, accommodation, and meals. In order to respect the commitment of these officials, Swim Alberta will reimburse officials placed through the Swim Alberta Placement of Officials process at Swim Alberta Provincial Competitions. Eligibility Limited to officials placed by Swim Alberta, including the Advisory Referee, Referee, and the Starter. The official must volunteer a minimum number of sessions (or days), based on the type of competition. The Officials role may vary, for example, a referee may work as a Judge of Stroke during another session. Officials must have a current ‘active’ official’s account on the Swimming Canada database. Officials travel must be a minimum of 50km to the competition. Advisory Referee’s and Referee’s attending the competition for an evaluation are eligible.
