LAKE CHESTERFIELD WORK DUTIES

Thank you for helping us make summer swim team a positive experience for your children.  

We could not run these meets without all of your help!

Each family is required to work 3 full work duties plus a work duty at the conference meet (if your child(ren) participates). Please note:

The minimum age for all jobs is 16 years old.

Per league regulations, meet workers cannot drink alcohol while working the meet.

Brief Description of Work Duties (subject to change):

Awards: Place printed labels on ribbons and file them by swimmer.

Bullpen: The bullpen is the place where all swimmers wait for their events to be called. Workers will be assigned specific age group(s) to call and line up for events, then direct them to the lane loaders.

Concessions: Perform pre-meet food prep and pool set-up as directed by parent reps, operate

the concession stand at home meets.

Lane Loaders: Stationed at the start end of the pool organizing swimmers received from the bullpen and loading them to the proper lanes.

Runners: Runners pick up the lane heat cards and the DQ slips from the Starter Assistant and deliver them to the score table.

Safety Marshall: Monitors and corrects safety issues within the pool area. Also monitors the perimeter of the pool area for parking violations and encroachment onto residents’ property.  

Set-Up/Clean-Up: This job is done prior (3:30 – 5:00 pm) and at the conclusion of the meet (~9:00 - 10:30 pm). You will be moving deck furniture, putting meet equipment in place and taking it down and cleaning up.

Starter Assistant*: Walks alongside the Starter, recording DQ's and other information from the Starter.  Record the lane finishes for heat one. *Requires previous experience – check with parent rep.

Timers: Using a stopwatch provided, time the swimmers in your lane and write the times on the lane timer sheets. 

*****Please note that we may adjust your work duties and/or ask you to help in different areas, based

on the team’s needs on the day of the event.*****
