VOLUNTEER FORM:
All of the tasks and responsibilities of the swim team, including set-up, operation, and clean-up for all swim meets and parties, communication with teams, parents, swimmers, pool staff and the Borough, all social events and fundraisers cannot be successful without the participation of all of the swim team parents and families. Within the body of this letter is an Explanation of Volunteer jobs. Since it requires much work to make the swim team a successful and enjoyable experience for the kids, ALL families are encouraged to sign-up for at least one task.
MEET OFFICIALS:
All of the officials at the meets are parent volunteers. Each home and away meet requires from each team: one Stroke Judge, one Turn Judge, three Timers, and one Scorekeeper. The host team provides a Starter, Referee, and an Announcer.
Parents who have not previously served as meet officials are urged to come to the “Officials Clinic” at Gateway Heights Pool on Saturday, (DATE TBD) at 10:00 AM to receive training. This free clinic will be conducted by a representative of the ESA and is open to all interested parents. The clinic will explain the duties of the various meet officials. Forest Hills parents are needed to serve in this capacity for away meets.
MEET VOLUNTEERS:
In addition to the meet officials mentioned above, traditionally volunteers are also needed for lots of other help but since all of our meets are at other pools very few volunteers are needed for the dual meets. We will need to provide timers at the Championship meet.
