Volunteering At Your First Swim Meet

From 'Fabulous Fridays' (Our Splash Group meet) to our own club hosted swim meets, here are a few things to help you understand competitive swim meets:

• Arrive on time for warm-up!
• When volunteering, bring a pair shoes that can get wet... because they will!
• Bring your own healthy food and waterbottle - you're never sure what will be open or nearby.
• Show up a bit early to get your instructions, settle in, etc.
• Wear the appropriate officiating attire.
• Check in - usually this means finding the meet manager's desk and letting them know you have arrived.
• If you are working your way up the officiating ladder, don't forget to bring any cards to be signed.

Don't be afraid to ask another parent or official - they're usually eager to help!
