THE PENGUINS NEED YOU!  VOLUNTEER TODAY!

 

We require your help to keep all of our Penguin swim meets running smoothly.   

Swim meets have a lot of moving parts, and it would be impossible to run a good swim meet without the help of the friends and families of our Penguins swimmers.  We ask that each family commit to volunteering at least one time per swimmer during the season (this is subject to change based on how many swimmers we have each season).  Job Signup will be done right here on the website - each meet will have a Job Signup link in the meet information.  Please note that some positions require expertise, experience, or training.  As such, these will be assigned by Staff.  If you are interested in taking on one of these jobs, please see a coach for more information.  Thank you in advance for helping us run amazing meets!

We need volunteers to help run the swim meets.  Examples of needed volunteers:

1.  Timers: Regular Season meets, we'll take as many volunteers as we can get per meet. During summer league we need 7-8 timers every swim meet (both home & away).

- Head Timer:  This person will have 2 backup hand held timers and will act as a backup for any lane timer who does not get their watch started properly.  

2.  Concessions: 2 people per home meet to sell heat sheets and concessions.

3.  Ribbon/Awards:  1-2 people every meet to label ribbons & awards.

4.  Bull Pen:  3 people per meet needed to line up kids & get them to the blocks.

5.  Party Help:  2 people to set up, serve, & clean up after ice cream parties.  These parties are only after home meets. This is a summer league job only.

6.  Equipment:  2 people to set up, run, & take down all equipment. 

7.  Starter: Announces and starts each event and heat

8. Stroke & Turn: Ensures that all swimmers are swimming the strokes correctly and generally following the rules.

9. Place Judge:  2 people who sit at the end of the pool and record what place each lane finishes.  

10. Computer:  We need 1 or 2 people who are interested in running the computer program during the meet.  This job basically involves making sure the scoring is running properly and the printing of the tags for the ribbons.
