Summer Swimming Runs on Volunteers!

Our NCR Dolphins Swim Team is powered by you!  Without our parent volunteers, the team would not function.  We NEED parents to be participants, not just spectators. Summer swimming is a family activity, it's not just for kids! 

​Swim meets take a lot to put on and simply can't be run without the majority of parents assisting with some aspect of the meet.  Most jobs don't require any special training - just a few minutes instruction; others require attendance at clinics.  None are as scary or difficult as you might think.  Even at the Olympic level of competition, swimming officials are volunteers! 

Not all of the volunteer opportunities take place at the meets - some happen during the week, or special events 
throughout the summer.  There's a job for everyone!

At the meet...

  • Timers: records the time for each lane
  • Head Timer: Instructs and assigns timers to lanes, acts as a backup for the lane timers
  • Head Judge:  Verifies the official time for each swimmer from the timer sheets
  • Scorer:  Assists the meet data manager entering the times for the meet into the meet manager software
  • Runners: Retrieves time cards from lane timers and brings them to the head judge at the scoring table.
  • Clerk-Of-Course: Ensures the swimmers for each event are lined up in their correct lane.
  • Concessions: Prepare/sell food and drink items. (home meets only)
  • Ribbon Writers: Apply labels to the ribbons, sort ribbons.
  • Announcer: Announces each event to the deck and calls for events in advance.
  • Referee: Briefs coaches and officials and enforces all rules; he/she is the "final authority."
  • Starter: Notifies swimmers of the event distance and stroke; initiates the start signal.
  • Stroke and Turn Judge: Reports any violation of swimming style or turns. 
  • Sweep Judge: Record first and second place finishers for the final heat of every event.  ​​
  • Meet Manager: Manages pool set-up, ensures there are enough officials and coordinates with dual-meet opponent's manager
  • Data Manager:  Maintains the computer database of swimmers; ensures the meet entries are provided foe each weekly meet; records times for each meet and provides meet results to the league
  • Team Representative: Manages the swim team and serves as liaison between club and PMSL.

More than just meets...

  • Banquet Coordinator:  Oganizes the end-of-season awards banquet
  • Weekend Cooking:  Help the team raise funds by cooking and selling hot dogs and hamburgers to the pool patrons
  • Swim Marathon: Help run the annual Swim marathon fund raiser
  • Pasta Potluck Dinners:  Help set up/clean up for the Friday Pasta Potluck Dinners
  • Pool Bulk-head: help with the installation and removal of the bulkhead for home meets (OK, this one is also for the meets)

There is a job for everyone!
