Volunteer Information
Volunteers
Being a part of a swim team is different than any other sport due to the number of volunteers it takes at each meet. If you have a swimmer, you are expected to volunteer in some capacity.
Timer – Record times for one lane of swimmers using your own phone. Attend briefing at 5:40PM (prior to meet) and work first or second half of the meet. You are partnered with one other person in the lane as two times are recorded. See every start & finish up close.
Head Timer – Have an extra device in case of error of timer’s device.
Clerk of Course – Organize swimmers into lanes in the clerk of course area. On the job training and work along others. You can work first or second half of the meet. See your child before each swim.
Stroke & Turn Judges – Requires prior training. Watch each event to ensure legal strokes and turns by swimmers. Attend briefing at 5:40PM (prior to meet) and work either first or second half the meet. The best seat at every meet.
Set Up – Assist with setting up pool deck, lane numbers, clerk of course area, starter/scoring tent & equipment. Please arrive no later than 5PM.
Clean Up – Assist with cleaning up and putting the pool deck back in order.
Relays – Confirm legal take-offs on all relays. (Events 1-7 and 52, 53, 60-62)
Sweep Judge – Identify finishing order on all races in case computer glitch.
Starter – Keep the meet going. Announce the event and begin the races. Swimmers take your mark, set, push the buzzer to begin them.
Scorekeeper – Mike Smith will be the head scorekeeper, but we need to have someone learning and available for backup in the chance he is not able to attend.
Concessions – Man the concession stand during home meets. This is a fundraiser for the team.
Hospitality – Take food and drinks around to the volunteers during the swim meet.

As part of our contract with the Town of Broadway, we make sure the bathrooms are cleaned prior to the pool opening to the public. It will take volunteers to do this. It is easiest if two people sign up. It can be done during the AM practice sessions. It is best to do towards the end of first practice/beginning of second practice. Pick up trash, wipe down any toilets/sinks, if needed and spray down and scrape water to drains. Volunteer Sign Up
