Congratulations to Vic Coombs who braved the searing heat of Watford’s Woodside pool over the weekend despite not having a swimmer at the competition to qualify as a Judge Level 2 – Starter. That means that he’s completed a minimum 20 hours post qualification experience as a Judge Level 2 – and I happen to know that in reality he’s done many, many hours more – and is now officially able to start races. With Club Champs about to start it’s a timely reminder that without parents like Vic training up as officials we wouldn’t be able to run these competitions.
