HOME MEET REQUIREMENTS

 HOME MEET REQUIREMENTS

It is a big job to host our own meets. We need all families to volunteer in many ways. The benefits for our kids to be able to swim in their own pool and not have to travel and stay at a hotel is worth the work. Swim meets also are a big fundraiser for our team.

Food – Cynthia Martineau is our food coordinator. We need to feed between 60 – 80 officials and coaches over the weekend (for each session). All families will be required to make a food donation for the meals on Saturday. To help us all out, Cynthia will be arranging Sunday to be catered. A fee will be added to the meet fees to cover this cost.

Officiating – It takes around 50 officials to run each session. We need all families to volunteer. Below are the requirements for the January meet.

Senior – minimum of 3 sessions

Age Group – minimum of 2 sessions

Jr BYST (who swam in our Nov meet) – minimum of 1 session

Jr BYST (first swim meet) – no requirement

We are able to sign up as officials on the Ontario Swim Officials Association (OSOA) website. It is important that all our officials use the site for registering for a job. (This does not include food or sales jobs or runners.)
