Volunteer Positions
The following terms are ones that will become common to you throughout the meet season. The positions are not difficult and I will further explain your functions when you volunteer. Thank you for your help. Expectations are that each family volunteers a minimum of four meets per season. Starter - Person in charge of running the meet. Announces events and calls swimmers to blocks and starts each race. Timers - Simply start the stopwatch at the whistle and stop it when the swimmer finishes his/her race. Record time on swimmers card. Give card to runner. Runners - Take event cards from timers and gives them to scorers. Stroke a Turn Judge - Looks for legal turns and any stroke violations. (Experience swimmers please consider thisl position.) Ribbon writers - Records name of swimmers on individual ribbons, gives all ribbons to coaches. Ribbon Sorter - Sort the ribbons by team so that each team takes home the correct number of first, second, third and participant ribbons Scorer (A) - Tracks team score based on event cards and places. Scores are 3 points for 1st, 2 points for 2nd and 1 point for 3rd. Will have to be trained on the new computer scoring program "Team & Meet Manager". Scorer (B) - Averages the event time for each swimmer to be entered in the computer. Card Labeler - Day of meet. Place swimmers entry sticker on individual event card. | ||||
