Here are helpful volunteer job descriptions:

PARENT WORK COMMITMENTS: Parents of swimmers are expected to pick one volunteer role per meet.

Below are descriptions of the various positions. We have experienced volunteers who lead each group and they will help you get comfortable in whatever volunteer role you choose.

Concessions - Sell snack food and drinks at home meets.

Timer- There are 3 timers per lane. Each timer starts their watch at the light of the starting machine and stops it when any part of the swimmer’s body touches the wall. The 3 times are written on a sheet and submitted to give the swimmer his/her time. We require timers for both home and away meets. Timers attend a meeting approximately 15 minutes before the start of each meet.

Runner - Collects timer cards from the lead timer in each lane and delivers them to the scorer's table after each event. We require runners for both home and away meets.

Clerk of Course- Lines the swimmers up for their events to ensure they get in the proper event, heat, and lane. Maintains order with the swimmers behind the blocks/starting area. We require clerks for both home and away meets.

Sweeps Judge - Records the order of finish for the top 4 places in each event. Records this on the sweep judge's form for each scoring heat (Heat 1 ONLY). We require one sweeps judge per session for both home and away meets.

Ribbon Writer - Prepares ribbons that include printouts of the time and place of each swimmer. We require ribbon volunteers for both home and away meets.

Scorer - Records the places and times of each event. Keeps a running total of the score.

Scoring Runner - Communicates needed information between the meet official and the scoring table.

Starter - Calls swimmers up for their event. Gets the swimmers "to their mark" and then starts the race.

Stroke & Turn Officials - This position requires stroke and turn officials training. US Swimming certified officials do not need to attend training but do need to review the VPSU rules and understand the differences. The S&T officials ensure swimmers are swimming the event/stroke within the VPSU rules. Officials fill out a form when they observe an infraction. The final decision on each infraction is approved or denied by the head referee.

Swim Meets will require one parent from each family to sign up for a job. In addition, each family must sign up for one setup or cleanup for one of our 3 home meets. 

Sign-ups will be available as always on SwimTopia for each meet. Go frogs!

We also need help with non-swim meet activities!
