DDRSA OFFICIATING

Welcome to Officiating on the Darling Downs

Technical Officials are an integral part of swimming. They are a key component for swimmers to participate in, engage with and enjoy the sport of swimming. The DDRSA is actively seeking members to participate in the new officiating framework for the Region and have as many officials as possible in clubs to ensure that not only meets, but club nights as well, are run at the highest possible standard for our swimmers.

Below are the available modules of the Swimming Australia Website. A reminder that all participants starting their officiating journey must first :

Have a current Blue Card linked to the Region
Complete the Community Officiating Essential Skills Course (COES)
Acquire a Technical Official membership with their Club
Complete the SIA (Sport Integrity Australia) website modules:
