Race Secretary

The Race Secretary is responsible for the planning, running and administration that goes into a club's swimming competitions. This can include creating meet programs, advertising meets, accepting entries and entry fees, running your club competitions, and posting results after meets are conducted.

If you'd like to run an Approved meet at your club (i.e. the results from your meet can be used to enter Swimming NSW events), you will need to follow our Meet Approval Process to gain meet approval.

A variety of helpful resources for Race Secretaries can be found below.
