In order to have a team and meets, many volunteers are needed. Being a volunteer in swim team related activities can get you involved with the swimmers, have fun and show support for the whole team. There are a number of activities that require volunteers.

Each family will be required to work a minimum of 4 meets in one of the following capacities. We absolutely have to have volunteers to run a meet.

Announcer (1):  Use a microphone to make timely announcements and descriptions of upcoming races. Helps to ensure the meet runs smoothly.

 

Starter (1): This position ensures that there will be a fair start for each swimmer.  Also keeps the meet running in a timely fashion.  One should be a stroke/turn judge before becoming a starter.

 

Stroke Judge (2):  Responsibilities include thorough know how of the strokes and rules, coupled with fair and consistent application of them.

 

Timing System (2):   Operate computer-timing system in a timely manner to keep the meet running smoothly.

Scorekeepers (3):   Tabulate the results of each race, track each event and keep a running total of the score.  When time permits, this information will then be logged into the computer.

 

Timers (10): Will use a stopwatch to time each swimmer in your assigned lane.  Timers then record the information on a card which is them sent to the scorekeepers via the runner.

 

Bullpen (3):  Organizing/lining up swimmers for each event.  Patience is a must.

 

Runner (2):  Will walk from the scorekeepers table to the timers to deliver and pick up the swimmers card for each event.

 

Concession Stand (2):  Help setting up and operating the concession stand.

 

Don’t be shy! We have a very supportive team family and will be more than happy to train and guide all volunteers! THANK YOU!
