There are many volunteer opportunities during the season. By being a volunteer, you show support
for our team and also have fun. Each family is required to work a minimum of three shifts during
the swim season. Each swim meet is divided into two shifts, though some volunteer positions are
for the entire meet.

Below is an explanation of each volunteer job:
Bullpen Supervisors (Clerk of Course) - These volunteers are responsible for putting the event
cards in order and assigning lanes to swimmers. This is done prior to the start of the meet
usually between 4:30 and 5:00 p.m. These volunteers are also responsible for getting the
swimmers in the proper order for their event and to get the swimmers to the block on time.
We need 10 at home meets and 2 at away meets.
Timers - There will be three timers per lane. Each group of timers is responsible
for recording the swimmers' time in that particular lane. We need 16 timers at home meets
and 8 at away meets. You will be provided with a stopwatch and assigned a certain lane to time.
Ribbon Writers - These volunteers would work with the scorers to get the ribbons completed at the meet.
Runners - These volunteers watch the stroke and turn judges and deliver DQ slips and
event cards from the timers to the score table. We need 2 runners per home meet.
Scorers - These volunteers are responsible for recording swimmers' times, placements,
DQs and keeping a running tally of points per team. We need four scorers per home meet and two for away meets.
Officials (Stroke and Turn Judges and Starter) - The officials watch the swimmers and determine
if they are properly swimming each stroke. These judges are required to attend an official's clinic.
Each team will provide one official per meet. The starter runs the meet by starting each event.
**If you would like to be an official, let us know. We will inform you when there is a training clinic.
Concession Sales - We need 10 volunteers per home meet to set up and run the concession stand.
This is a huge moneymaker for the team. We use the money to buy awards at the end of the season.
Set up - This requires being at the pool at 4:00 to get set up for the meet.
Parents Spirit Group - This job requires manning the Spirit Tent - passing out spirit items
to the kids and selling rally towels and glow bracelets.
Scoreboard - This requires sitting on the roof and keeping the "event in the water" number,
"event in the bullpen" number, and the score of the meet updated.
