2012 Volunteer Opportunities for Students & Parents
New This Season!
We are taking our volunteer registration online. Simply click on the link below to get started. You will need to sign in with your email address and include your name. Select meet dates from the calendar and then volunteer for jobs. It’s that easy!
Volunteering is not just easy – it’s required. Families must register to work in order for their child(ren) to receive the swim team t-shirt.
For Students:
If you are a middle- or high-school student who needs community service hours for graduation, the swim team has a spot for you. If you would like to volunteer, please contact Carter Plashal. Pre-team will meet from June 18 to July 13 from 11:30 to 12:30. We have a need for pre-team volunteers, ages 12 and up.
For Parents:
Parent volunteers make JRAC swim meets happen. You not only cheer on the swimmers, you also run the event. We have about 300 volunteer shifts to fill over the course of the season, so WE NEED YOU! Each family is expected to volunteer to work four halfmeets or two full meets over the season. Everyone needs to volunteer, whether you have a novice swimmer or a XX swimmer, a mite or a senior. Sign ups will be available at the May 20th Open House.
The following positions do not require any special training:
• Timers — time the swimmers in each lane
• Runners — help move swimmer cards around
• Card Givers— distribute cards to swimmers
• Age-group Team Parents — keep Mites and Midgets organized and focused as they wait for their races
The positions below require some training, which can be arranged
through the Aquatics Committee:
• Clerk of the Course
• Strokes and Turns Judges
• Head Timers
• Starters
• Referee
Other volunteer assistance is needed for:
• Computer help during swim meets
• Team socials
Whatever your talents and time allow, we have a volunteer slot for you. And when everyone volunteers, we have efficient meets, we all pitch in to help the team, and we set a good example for our children. So please sign up and be ready, willing, and able when you receive a call from one of our volunteer coordinators.
