The Officials Training Programme has been launched because British Swimming has been tasked with identifying potential officials, for recommendation to FINA and the London Organising Committee for the Olympic Games (LOCOG), that would be interested in working at the 2012 Olympic Games as a National Technical Official. The programme is about providing officials the opportunity to express their interest in officiating at the Olympic and Paralympic Games and therefore the opportunity for British Swimming to ensure that they have the correct experience to apply. The identified disciplines are Synchronised Swimming, Water Polo and Diving.
