The training is in preparation for swimming competitions that will be held in the WHDZ as part of the 7th Military World Games in October in the city. A total of 66 referees are needed for the event, 28 of which will be from Hubei province.
The class was offered to Hubei referees who signed up to participate in the event. Only 28 of 65 candidates will be selected to take part in the event.
