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.

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.)
