Volunteer Job Descriptions

Timing - Observe the meet up close! A large number of timers are needed at each swim meet. The timers use stopwatches and devices hooked to the timing system to record backup times & ensure accurate times are received for each swimmer. Timers may also be responsible for handing out “Best Time” ribbons to swimmers at some meets.

Head Timer - The head timer is responsible for starting the backup watches for each event. Those watches can be provided to any timer who missed starting theirs or had a watch malfunction. The head timer is also responsible for obtaining back up times in the event that a swimmer does not touch the stop pad and stop the timing system.

Concessions - Help out the team by serving and selling food to swimmers, parents, and spectators! A concession team member will also be responsible for bringing water and snacks to our coaches and officials.

Program Sales - Greet spectators and sell the programs that list the event, lane, and heat for each swimmer.

Meet Set Up - Volunteers are needed to help setup chairs, tables, touch pads, and other equipment for the meet.

Meet Clean Up - Volunteers are needed to help put away chairs, tables, touch pads and other equipment, taking out garbage, check locker rooms, and other general clean up after the meet is over.

Awards Table - Volunteers at the awards table are responsible for posting heat results and organizing and labeling ribbons.

Announcing - Be the voice at the meet! The announcer is responsible for announcing swimmers’ names and clubs for each event.

Computer - A volunteer is needed to run and monitor the computer that is hooked up to the timing system, printing results, and printing labels for awards.

Omni - This is the timing system used by our swim club. A volunteer is needed to setup and monitor the timing system during the swim meet. This volunteer is also responsible for making sure that the clock stops after each event and getting backup times if the swimmer does not touch the pad.

Meet Official - Are you interested in learning more about becoming a USA Swimming Official? Officials are needed at all MSI sanctioned meets. As a Meet Official you will be trained as a stroke and turn judge. This is an exciting way to be more involved and learn more about your child’s sport!
