Hello Swim Team Families!
It’s almost time for summer league! Can you believe it? Please take a moment to review the important dates and other information listed below for the 2018 season.
Crucial Volunteer Positions Needed!!!:
These are lead positions that fulfill your volunteer requirements for the summer. Training provided! Email Meredith Schaller (mee4w@yahoo.com) ASAP if interested or to learn more.
- Stroke and Turn Judges: Get the best seat on deck! This position judges whether proper stroke, turn, and finish are executed by the swimmers during the meet. You will receive training and will be reimbursed for any training expenses.
- Placement Judges: Get an amazing spot on deck and be part of the action! This position judges the finish placement of swimmers for all main events. There are first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth place judges.
- Cary City Meet Coordinator: coordinate an amazing day for the team at the Cary City meet in July. This creative person would plan a fun theme for our team’s tent, implement the theme, crate team treat bags for each participating team, put up and take down team tents and any decorations, and coordinate all needed volunteers. A smaller portion of our team attends this event. This is a great opportunity to earn all of this season’s volunteer credits.
- Team Photographers (2): If photography is your talent, we have a position for you! We are looking for two photographers to capture all of the action at our meets.
