Artistic Swimming Judges are essential for running artistic swimming competitions as they provide scores based on the performance of each routine.
They are also responsible for marking grade-level assessments.
All Artistic Swimming judges must be expertly trained to reduce subjectivity in scoring. They require a complete understanding of FINA and Swim Australia's rules and regulations for artistic swimming competitions.
To maintain their qualification or progress, all judges must officiate at a certain number of grade assessments and competitions.
