SWIMMING SOUTH AFRICA -TECHNICAL AND SELECTION COMMITTEES
At a meeting held 04 – 05 October 2008, the Executive Committee ratified all the Technical and Selection committees. The make-up of all these Committees is depicted in the attached schedule.

Affiliates are requested to advise all their representatives of their appointments. In the interest of our sport, it will be noted that as the Swim Instructors Committee is in its first year, the Executive Committee deviated from the established procedure by allowing all the nominated members to operate on the Committee to obtain experience.

However, at the next Annual General Meeting, the format as outlined in the Constitution, will be implemented. It is important to record that the Executive Committee intends to introduce a similar format for the Officials Society.

The Executive Committee is also investigating the formation of a Coaches Committee, together with athlete representation on all the Technical Committees. The role of the Technical Committees is extremely important in the progress of our sport, and is second only to the Executive Committee. It is therefore essential that there is a strong leadership and all deliberations are aimed at meeting the goals of our Federation.

The SSA executive committee wishes all the committees and their members a successful period in office.
