You, along with at least one other parent, will be responsible for taking care of a group of swimmers during the meet. Your duties will include but are not limited to marking all swimmers for races, making sure any heat sheet discrepancies are brought to the attention of the tent coordinators, line swimmers up and escort them to and from all races, ensuring that all swimmers in your tent are accounted for at all times, and making sure that each swimmer is properly signed out at the end of each meet.  You will also need to escort the 10U swimmers to and from the restrooms if needed.  This is a very important position as you are responsible for each child in the tent. You must stay with all the children until they are checked out by their parent at the conclusion of the meet.

Ready Bench – Half meet position

Stroke Judge – Half meet position 

Responsible for assessing the legality of a swimmers stroke execution. This is a great job if you like being in the heart of the action as you will be poolside during your entire shift! NOTE: Each stroke judge must attend an annual stroke clinic to be certified to officiate at a meet. Once you sign up for this position you will receive all of the clinic information and schedule for the current season.  This is a perfect job for parents with prior competitive swimming experience with a keen/impartial eye for details.  We can not hold a swim meet without enough stroke judges on each team so plan on working half of every meet.
