The swimming technical officials have been selected to officiate the swimming events at the Australian University Games at Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre.
The competition is held over three days, which will see top swimmers from universities all over Australia compete against each other.
Among the competitors will be Olympic and Commonwealth Games swimmers.
Being highly qualified sporting people, Mike has also been appointed meet referee for day two of the competition, which he is justly proud of.
He will also act as one of the judges of stroke on the first day.
Chris has been appointed an inspector of turns on day one and will fulfil the role of judge of stroke on the second day of the games.
Later in the year the couple will volunteer as technical officers at the International Children’s Games in Newcastle.
