The role of the Skill Assessor in Synchronised Swimming is to assess the performance of the swimmers against the criteria set by the ASA Technical Synchronised Swimming Committee (TSSC.)
There are four levels of Assessor, as follows:

- Have successfully completed a one-day training course to qualify as a BSA
- Be over 16 years of age
- Be an ASA Member
SKILL ASSESSOR (SA)
