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 - to be done the day after the meet at practice, stick labels with swimmer’s results on individual ribbons and sort ribbons into the team files

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
