Help Us Grow Our Officiating Team!

November 1, 2026

We are looking for parents interested in advancing their swim officiating training and helping out at future in-house time trials, mini meets, and swim meets next year.

We are hosting two major meets this season, in addition to our in-house mini meets and time trials:

  • NT #5 Central (DCSC): April 17
  • AGD (AAA/AA – DCSC): May 8–9 (LCM)

We encourage DCSC parents to attend some of the upcoming officiating clinics being offered this week (online via Zoom). Building our team of trained officials will help ensure we have enough volunteers to support our upcoming meets, mini meets, and time trials.

If you have any questions about the clinics or swim officiating in general, please reach out by email to our Chair of Officials, Romy Aquino officials@dartmouthcrusaders.ca 

Let's continue building our team of officials and ensure the Dartmouth Crusaders are well represented on the pool deck! It's also.a great way to earn your volunteer points.
