Swim Meet Jobs

Job sign-up is completed on a first come, first served basis on the SignUp Calendar on the date when it is communicated it will open. You will receive an email notification ahead of time when the job sign-up will open.

Follow the instructions on Signup Instructions.

Job shifts will close at the same time as the meet declaration deadline (Tuesday evening) for each individual meet. After that time, no changes can be made without contacting a parent rep. At that time, if shifts still need to be filled for that meet, anyone who has not already fulfilled their sign-up requirements will be contacted first. If there are emergencies, the parent rep must be contacted to explain the circumstances.

Please note that you can have any friend, family member, responsible pre-teen/teenager, neighbor - anyone who can help you out to fulfill your requirement. We just ask that you let us know and you are responsible for making sure that person check-ins at the designated time before the swim meet.

Our goal is to honor those who not only fulfill their requirements, but the many who go above and beyond. We cannot run meets without volunteers, it is a crucial part of swimming with a summer club!

As stated during registration, if you do not fulfill your required volunteer hours during the regular season, you credit card will be charged the $400 conditional fee.
