'From September 2010 for Level 1 and Level 2 Meets, all Judges and above must be licensed. Unlicensed, qualified timekeepers can still be used.
From September 2011 the minimum qualification for Level 1 and Level 2 Meets will be Licensed Judge 1.'

As of September 2010 all officials at a Level 1 or 2 meet are required to be licensed. As a County we need to have more licensed officials to run not only our championships, but to officiate at the various level 1 or 2 meets that are put on by our Clubs. If your are a J1 or higher, please get your license before we find that we find that we can not use our swimmers times for Regional or National qualification.
