2023 Season Job descriptions are listed below. Job sign-ups will be available on Friday, May 5 at 6:00 pm. Again this year, you are responsible for doing your job for the entire swim meet, beginning to end. You may have a family member or friend take your place halfway through the meet if you wish, but you are ultimately responsible for that position for the whole meet. If someone does replace you, please explain to them how to do the job.
Do you want a front-row seat to the action in the pool? Do you have a keen eye and a critical mind? We need you to be a stroke and turn judge! There will be free training for this prestigious job! Please let us know right away if this is the job for you.
Our meets rely on parent volunteers. Thank you for your support, we could not do this without you!
Please sign up for 5 Swim Meets.
