Parent Volunteers

Our parent volunteers are an integral part of the success of our swim team. We are a parent-run, volunteer organization that functions on the help of all swim families to ensure that our swimmers are successful and have fun throughout the season.

Each family is required to sign up for and work a minimum of 2 volunteer positions. These can be done at the same meet, or 2 different meets.

Each family is also required to sign up for 1 of the make-up meets (either June 27 or July 11). The make-up dates may not be needed, we just need to make sure we have people available to cover the required positions.

Families who have not signed up by June 8th will be placed in open spots.

The Signup Genius Link will be posted in May.

Please see below for ways you can volunteer.

Ways you can help

Set Up

This job requires you to arrive early to clear the pool deck of tables and chairs, set up the Clerk of Course area, and assist the coaches with setting up lane lines and backstroke flags. This job is a lot of physical labor.

Concessions

Help us sell food & drinks at the concession stand to our hungry athletes and meet attendees.

Timers

Want the best view of the races? Timers are assigned a lane and time the swimmers in their lane using stopwatches. They will record the times on a card, and give them to the Runner. The Head Timer is a backup for the other timers. There will be a timers meeting before the meet with the officials. This job will have you on your feet for most of the meet.

Announcer

Loud people are welcome! You will announce the races during the meets, and when swimmers should report to the Clerk of Course. You will be given a copy of the lineup and armed with a microphone…feel free to slip in some family-friendly jokes.

Runners

Collect the cards from the Timers and Official after each race, and take them to the Scorers. There will be a runners meeting before the meet with the officials. This job requires a lot of walking back and forth.

Lane Marshal

Needed for the Relay and Championship meets. You will observe warm-up lanes to ensure swimmers are following proper warm-up procedures: including feet first entry only and staying on the correct side of the lane to accommodate 2-way swimming.

Scorers

Good with math? Scorers average the times on the cards given to them by the Runners then give them to the Computer person. This job is performed sitting down.

Clerk of Course

Oversees the Clerk of Course area where swimmers report before their event. Help line up swimmers in order and ensure they report to their lanes in an orderly and timely fashion. You'll work with the Announcer to call the events so swimmers report to the Clerk of Course with adequate time before events. This job will have you on your feet most of the meet.

Clean Up

Put tables and chairs back on the pool deck, assist coaches with removing the lane lines and backstroke flags, and do general cleanup to ensure the pool and surrounding area look like we were never there. This job is a lot of physical labor.

Awards

Do you like stickers? This job requires you to stick labels on the award ribbons. This job will start halfway through the meet, and may require you to stay a little after the meet ends. This job is performed sitting down.
