Meet Related Volunteer Positions
Competition related Volunteers for both 1st and 2nd Half must attend the Officials Meeting conducted by the Cobb County Referee at 5:45 pm. These positions include Announcer, Starter, Timer / Recorder, Place Judge, Runner, Coordinator and Coaches.

Timer - You will operate a stopwatch to time an assigned lane of racers and write-down the time on a Timing Sheet. This is a standing position. 1 volunteer per half per lane assigned to our team.

Place Judge – You will work with a parent from the opposite team to observe the race finish order and record it on a slip of paper. The Runner will pick up the paper and take it to the scoring table. There are 2 sets of Place Judges positioned on each side of the pool. This is a seated position with a Birdseye view of the competition pool. 2 volunteers per half.

Runner - You will collect completed time sheets from the Timers, DQ Sheets from the Referee and Place Sheets from the Place Judges and deliver them to the Scorekeeper table. Position requires standing and constant walking (this is the best way to get a workout while volunteering at the meet). 1 volunteer per half. 

Scorekeeper – You will work with a parent from the other team to confirm score using the computer and place sheets from the place judges. If you have never done this job before, please sign-up for 2nd Half so you can observe / train during the 1st Half. This is a seated position. 1 volunteer per half.

Computer Time Entry – You will update our team’s computer system with each swimmer’s time at the conclusion of each event. This information is used to seed swimmers for subsequent races. If you have not done this position before then please sign-up for 2nd Half so that you can observe the process during the 1st Half. This is a seated position. 1 volunteer per half. 

Parking Monitor (Home Meets Only) - The parking monitor will patrol the areas marked with no parking signs to ensure vehicles are parked in appropriate spots.

Announcer (Home Meets Only) – The Announcer uses the PA System and acts as master of ceremonies. This position starts at 4:50 pm and continues through the end of the meet. Duties include ensuring that teams get in and out of the pool on-time for warm-ups and keeping swimmers and parents informed of upcoming events and other important information throughout the meet. Natural entertainers with amazing DJ voices are encouraged to apply! Cobb County certified Starter Training, conducted in early May, is encouraged to do this position since you will work closely with the Starter and the Cobb County Referee. This is a seated position all night. 1 volunteer works entire meet.

Starter (Home Meets Only) – The Starter works with the Announcer and the Cobb County Referee to run the meet. The Announcer will turn the PA System over to you just prior to each event. You will call the swimmers to the starting blocks / edge of pool and give them the starting command. This is a seated position. 1 volunteer per half.

Event Board Operator (Home Meets Only) – The Event Board Operator will use the event board to keep everyone informed of the event currently underway in the pool. This helps parents know what is going on so that they can get their kids to the Lane Managers in time for their event. You will work closely with the Announcer and Starter to keep the meet running smoothly. This is a seated position. 1 volunteer per half.

Concession Sales (Home Meets Only) - You will sell concessions, work the snow cone machine, help in the kitchen or run credit / debit card payments under the guidance of our Concessions Coordinator. 1st Half volunteers should be in place by 5 pm to begin sales. 2nd Half volunteers should be in place at 7 pm. The concession stand will close at 9 pm. This is a standing position though you can sit during slow sales periods. 6 volunteers per half. 

Tear-Down/Clean Up (Home Meets Only) - You will stay after the meet is over to return things like tables and chairs to their original location and get things back to the Coordinator’s car. We must leave the Facility better than we found it. This includes ensuring that the facility is free from trash and clutter caused by the event both inside the fence and around the Clubhouse Property. And yes, we need to mop and clean the bathrooms. Position requires lifting (some heavy items) and lots of walking. (This is actually one of the fastest jobs – it typically only takes about 20 minutes to get everything back in order). 4 volunteers per meet.

On-Call – You will be on stand-by for any volunteers unable to make it to the meet or unable to complete their session due to an emergency at the meet. You will get credit for volunteering even if you aren’t needed as a volunteer. 2 volunteers per meet. Each family should only request this position for 1 half meet per season.

Morning after the meet - 

Ribbons - You will stick pre-printed labels to ribbons and then file them in the folder assigned to each swimmer. 4 volunteers per practice. This position is only for parents with children (swimmers) 6 years & under that donot compete at the meet. If you have multiple children 6 & over, this does not apply to you. Please sign up for another job.
