Parent Volunteers (required)
We are a team! To ensure a safe, fun, and efficient season, it is essential that all families volunteer in some capacity at each meet. There are many opportunities, time slots available, different positions needed, and training will be provided as needed. If your family is unable to volunteer at a meet, please check in with the managers for an alternative way to meet the family requirement.  
Here are descriptions of the roles we need filled each meet:
1. Timers- 1.5 hour shifts- stand at start/finish end of the pool, use Swimmingly app on personal phone to time races.
2. Stroke Judges- shift time dependant upon number of judges available- attend training to learn basic stroke requirements, use Swimmingly app to input stroke, swim, and turn infractions. *Can shadow a veteran stroke judge for one meet if interested* A $20 registration fee discount will be given to families who commit to judging at 2 meets and a $40
registration fee discount will be given to families who commit to judging all 4 meets. Reach out to Holly or Megan for the code. 
3. Score Table- 1.5 hour shifts- sit at score table, maintain Swimmingly app, provide log-in QR/codes to other volunteers.
4. 6u and 8u Escorts- gather 6u and 8u swimmers for their race events, maintain swim order in the clerk of the course 
5. Announcer- whole meet for 1-2 meets (would fulfill entire season's volunteer commitment) Use speaker to announce events, starts, exits, and upcoming events/heats.
6. Ribbons- time varies- done over the weekend- affix printed labels to ribbons, sort by category to be distributed the following Monday (this is usually reserved for a family/families with very young children who cannot safely supervise their swimmers and commit to being at a position on deck). Reach out to Holly or Megan. 
7. Hospitality- Provide/distribute water, snacks, etc. to meet volunteers for our hosted meets
8. Fundraising- assist with minor fundraisers (donut sales, etc.) to help raise money for future needs
9. End of Year/Banquet -usually held at Bonner Aquatic Park- schedule/organize/plan
 
*A sign-up genius email will be sent out prior to each meet. If a family does not meet their volunteer obligation, their swimmer may not be eligible to fully participate in meets.
