Free Diving judge courses
March 17, 2026Sign up for one of our courses
Therefore, the national governing body will be running three Level 1 Judge courses which gives volunteers and members the perfect opportunity to progress their journey and get more involved in the sport.
This course is aimed at those who wish to gain an initial understanding of World Aquatic’s diving rules and apply this within their club and regional events.
It will enable the participants to develop their knowledge of judging in diving and build on the basics they will have learned from completing the Introduction to Diving Judging resource which participants are encouraged to complete prior to attending.
Led by Sarah Barrow, an Olympic diver, current World Aquatics diving judge, and the technical officials lead for the Swim England Diving Leadership Group, the courses are delivered by an experienced team bringing a mix of international experience and knowledge to volunteers who are starting on their judging journey.
As a judge 1 you can officiate at intra-club, inter-club, county and regional events. You can also be a judge at Swim England’s National Skills Finals once you gain either a years’ worth of experience or have been mentored by a Swim England appointed mentor when judging at four club or regional events.
The sessions are available for those aged 16 or older and will be run on Webex. You can now register your interest to join the course.
Should the course become full, a waitlist system will be in place. Existing waitlist candidates will not need to re-register as they will be contacted individually.
Swim England will also be hosting a Level 2 Judge course. If you are interested click here
