If you did not receive the mass email I sent out, please email me so I can put you on the email list.
Attention Parent Volunteers,
Thank you so much for being willing to volunteer to assist the swim team this year! As volunteers, we need your help in making sure that the meet runs smoothly and efficiently, so a big thank you to each of you!
- Warm ups begin at 7am. So be here by 6:50am to be ready to get in the water at 7am.
- The meet begins at 7:30am.
- If you are volunteering, please check in when you arrive and out when you leave with our volunteer director.
We need to have everything set up before 7:30am. The meet needs to be over by 11am because the pool is then open to the public. If you want to swim after and play, you will need to exit the facility and pay the entry fee.
Also, if your child has not signed up yet for the meet PLEASE EMAIL ME ASAP!!!
Please see below for the volunteer positions and what is expected of you. Also look for the asterisks ** because this will tell you any specifics we need you to do or know for the meet. Most meetings/trainings for volunteers will take place while your children are warming up in the pool, another reason to get here early so you can help your child get ready and then come to your specific meeting. If you are volunteering for this meet, try and be here at 6:45am so you can be to your meeting or the Officials Meeting by 7am. Stroke judges, Starters, Coaches, Chief Judge, Head Timer, Clerk of Course, and Bullpen Director will be meeting with our Meet Referee at 7am. After, Bullpen Director and Head Timer will meet with their own volunteers.
Volunteer Director - Signs in and signs out parent volunteers and directs them where to go. This person will need to arrive early before warm ups begin, in order to help volunteers know where to go. With the signing in and out, this will keep help us keep track of volunteer hours
