Volunteer Information
As most sports do, we depend on parent volunteers to help run our meets. The requirements for our 2026/2027 season are as follows:
One parent/guardian/relative from every swim family is required to participate in a volunteer position at both of our home meets. Those two meets are the Eagle Invite (11/13) and the Holiday Eagle (12/12).
If you have a conflict or are unable to fulfill the commitment you made to volunteer, please notify us at [email protected] as soon as possible. Every effort will be made to assist you in trading your date with someone else.
Please note: If you committed to a volunteer position and do not fulfill that position without notice to the Booster Board or Coaches, your account will be charged the Volunteer Opt-out fee of $200.00.
Thank you for your understanding and assistance in this matter.
FRONT ENTRY
This volunteer will arrive 45 minutes prior to the meet start time and assist with collecting spectator entry fees as people arrive. This position is located at a table at the front doors and ends roughly at the half time of the meet.
HEAD TIMER
The head timer will sit on the side of the pool and start a stopwatch at the beginning of each race. This stopwatch is our backup stopwatch in case a stopwatch on a lane has malfunctioned or failed to start. Head Timer will be responsible for monitoring the lanes and getting the working stopwatch to its needed area.
RUNNER
Pick up timing sheets and take to computer operator.
TIMER
Timers will stand behind the starting block of each lane and help time the races. Each timer will be assigned a lane, and have a specific responsibility within their lane. Every lane has its own stop watch, timer plunger, and event spreadsheet. Operating those devices will be divided amongst the amount of timers you have in your lane. If you have more than three people working a lane, you will be able to divide up the meet hours so no one volunteer is working an entire meet. This volunteer position is the perfect representation of the more the merrier!
