• End of Season Banquet - plans and coordinates End of Season Banquet, including having awards made based on coach recommendations, working with Swag Coordinator on coach/swimmer gifts, arranging catering, etc.

Our team could not operate without the help of our volunteers, and we ask at least one member from each family help out at each home swim meet. Some positions do require training or prior experience (as noted), but many need no prior swim or meet experience. Sign-up sheets will be sent out prior to each meet asking for volunteers for each position. Below, you will find a description of the volunteer jobs for each meet:

Meet Set-Up: Get our pool ready for the swim meet. This includes setting up the walkway for coaches and timers alongside the pool, setting chairs behind the starting blocks, etc. Bonus: You get your job done early and can sit back and relax at the meet.

Marshall: Marshalls are responsible for the safety of everyone, especially the swimmers, during the meet. The marshall is responsible for looking out for potentially dangerous situations, ensuring there is no alcohol on deck (per CSA policy), and using good judgment to prevent problems.

Runner: Stand near the timers, gather timing sheets, and deliver the sheets to the data entry. Collect DQ slips when needed.

Lane Timer: Time each event and write down times on the timer sheets. Bonus: You get a great view of the swimmers. This is an easy position for someone with no prior swim meet experience.

Head Timer: Start 2 stopwatches at the beginning of each event/heat. If a lane timer misses the start or their stopwatch doesn’t work for any reason, they can get a timer from the head timer. The head timer will also fill in if someone needs a restroom break, etc. Bonus: You are right by the pool with a great view of all swimmers.

Head Clerk of Course: The Head Clerk of Course serves as a liaison for home and guest swimmers and coaches. Communicate needed changes in line up to coaches and officials.

Clerk of Course: The clerk of course volunteers assist the Head Clerk of Course with putting swimmers in order so that swimmers can move forward until they are behind the blocks. Bonus: You get to learn all the swimmer's names! Can slip away to see your swimmer swim.

Computer/Data Entry Assistant: Works with the computer operators to organize cards and timer sheets. Bonus: You are in the A/C, you always know the score and how fast everyone swims! You can always slip away and see your swimmer swim.

Stroke and Turn: This is an essential position. The stroke and turn judges go to special training and help ensure that swimmers are swimming “legal” strokes during the meet. We provide 2 stroke and turn judges for every meet (home or away) for 2 shifts – so 4 per meet. Bonus: You learn how to do all the strokes legally. You also get ringside seats for the swim meet. *Must attend a CSA Officials Clinic prior to to season start.

Starter/Referee: This is also an essential position and requires special training. At the meet, the starter is the person who starts each event ("swimmers take your mark…”). The referee is the highest judge and ultimately decides if someone is disqualified, when to call the meet, ensures the score is correct, etc. Bonus: You are under a covered tent in the shade during the meet! *Must attend a CSA Officials Clinic prior to to season start.

Hospitality/Concessions: These volunteers work the concession stand and assist with making sure volunteers/coaches stay hydrated and have snacks.

Floater: Fills in where needed at the meet. Requires flexibility.

Awards/Ribbons: Place stickers on the ribbons for all ribbon winners and file the ribbons in the swimmers' folders. This is usually a second shift job (as it takes a while to get enough in the computer to make it worthwhile to get started. This person is usually still working as the meet ends (and a little after).

Meet Clean-Up: Clean up the pool deck after the meet. This includes picking up any trash around pool, emptying trash cans/take bags to dumpster, arranging chairs neatly, and helping put items away for next meet.
