Several people have asked me how they can become certified as an official with Swim Alberta so as to fulfill duties other than timing.
There are several ways to get certification. For several positions, you can do an e-learning clinic on your own time. Some more involved positions require a self-directed clinic/learning plan. If you prefer to learn in a classroom environment, occasionally clubs will host in-person officials clinics.
Take a look at the following link to see how you can become certified as an official, including signing up for clinics, or down-loading e-learning modules.
