Free resource gives better understanding of Artistic Swimming Judging

The Introduction to Judging – Artistic Swimming resource has been revised and re-launched by Swim England.

This is the first step on the journey to become a judge but is also an excellent way for someone to better understand how Artistic Swimming is scored.

It has been created to give confidence to those who might not have the basic knowledge of the rules or scoring of the sport and, ultimately, consider taking on a judging course.

The resource covers:

• Roles, events and scoring
• Judging figures
• Judging routines.

Claire Coleman, Swim England Head of Development, said: “Technical officials are essential to the delivery of our events and we are continually looking at ways to enhance their journey and encourage more people to volunteer in this role.

Develop knowledge

“As a national governing body, we recognise that parents want to be part of the sporting environment with their children and that athletes may wish to give back to the sport– but we appreciate it can a steep learning-curve attending a judging course.

“This free online resource is a great way to develop your knowledge of the discipline and consider taking the next step to becoming a fully qualified judge.

There is no presenter so the resource can be completed at the pace of the participant and as many times as required.
