Volunteer position descriptions:

1. Pit Parent: Supervises the waiting area for swimmers during meets, works with the other volunteers and parents to mark the arms of swimmers with event/heat/lane and their backs with their names, keeps track of swimmers between events, and gets swimmers to the ready bench on time with caps and goggles.

2. Runner: Responsible for obtaining the completed time sheets from timers and DQ forms from the judges. The runner will deliver these to the Meet Manager at the scoring table.

3. Shepherd/Ready Bench: Key to keeping a meet running smoothly. The Shepherds work closely together and with the Pit Parent to organize the swimmers at the start of the meet; may be asked to take role, mark events on swimmers, mark swimmers with their names, and assist with swimmer needs. the primary job of the Shepherds is to ensure swimmers are in line for their next event. The Shepherds will line the swimmers up on the ready benches by event, heat and lane.

4. Timer: Timers record each swimmer's time. Each timer is provided a stopwatch, event sheet in order to record the times, and assigned a lane. There will be 2 timers on each lane during the events. One timer will serve as the head timer at each meet. This job gives you a front row seat to the meet. We are required to provide timers for both home and away meets.
