Officiating

Penguin Swimming proudly hosts six (6) swim meets each season including three Novice Series meets, Masters Cup, and the Fast Eddie’s Sprint Invitational. Over the years, Penguin Swimming has developed a well-deserved reputation for hosting meets with great hospitality, great fun, and great swimming!

Hosted Swim Meet Commitment

Parent/guardian assistance is the key ingredient in our success and parents/guardians from all team levels share the responsibility. Parents/guardians should plan to help out in one or more of the following areas: timing, marshalling, starting, set-up, computers, hospitality, and concession (see Hosted Swim Meet Commitment information on website).

It is expected that each family provide one official at each Penguin Swimming hosted meet. If a family is unable to provide an official, they must arrange for a suitable replacement, and must inform the Team Office of their replacement prior to the start of the meet.

At registration, families will provide $50 Bond cheques for each of the hosted swim meets. Failure of a family to provide an official or suitable replacement for the entire duration of the swim meet will result in their Bond cheque for that meet being cashed. Additional failures of a family to provide an official or suitable replacement will result in a "not in good standing" status, and may result in removal from the team.

*NOTE: The team DOES NOT WANT YOUR MONEY in lieu of officiating - the team NEEDS YOUR HELP!
