Expectations of Parents
The success of the swim team depends on the combined efforts of the swimmers parents and guardians, in addition to the efforts of the swimmers themselves. Swim meets are organized and run by parent/guardian volunteers.
Some meet positions require experience and training. Others just require a brief orientation or short instructional meeting before the meet begins. Volunteers should arrive early and check in during warm-ups. You will receive instructions or be advised to listen for announcements of meetings for various volunteer groups just before the meet begins. Inform the SWIM TEAM BOARD, in advance, if you CANNOT meet your volunteer commitment for a specific meet. YOU MUST FIND YOUR OWN REPLACEMENT!
PARENTS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR GETTING THEIR CHILD TO THE CLERK OF COURSE FOR HIS/HER EVENT!! The current and on deck event numbers are posted on the event board throughout the meet. There is a bullpen for younger children, and an adult volunteer will help get your child to the correct heat and the correct lane. Please be courteous to these volunteers.
