Swim meets can't happen without all of you! At least 1 adult should volunteer if your child is participating in a swim meet. Below is a description of volunteer roles.

Timers: 

We need 1 timer per lane to be paired with a timer from the other team. You will be provided a stop watch and will write your times down on the provided sheet for each swimmer in your lane. The runner will pick these up and take to the clerk to enter during the meet. This is a great way to get an up-close view of your swimmer swimming.

Runner:

Picks up DQ slips from officials and timing sheets from timers and delivers them to the clerk for computer entry.

Rounders: 

This job is to get the swimmers in your assigned age group together and in lane order for their event. You are only responsible for our swimmers. You will be given a heat sheet so you will know who is swimming each event. Only swimmers on your heat sheet can swim in the event. If there is an open lane or a swimmer chooses not to swim, we can not put another swimmer in their place. Our swimmers will be in one assigned area. For some of our youngest swimmers, they will need some help staying occupied and focused. Our head rounder can help you with some ideas. This is a perfect position if you have younger children who are not swimming.

Lane Placement Parents:

These parents are assigned a lane to make sure that the right swimmer is swimming in the right lane for each event. If a lane is empty for a heat or a swimmer chooses not to swim, we can not put another swimmer in their place. This is a great position if you are detail oriented and are familiar with a heat sheet and the general schedule of a swim meet.

There may be additional roles to fill depending on the configuration of the particular meet.
