| Does anyone know what the new volunteer process is? I know our coach is still waiting for a sign up link. Are we going to be background checked? |

| No, as an avid volunteer this would just be the 7th org I had to do a background check for. It gets old after a while. My big concern is that the new volunteer background checks with fingerprints that FCPS instituted this year has a major backlog. I think they even got rid of the fingerprint requirement because they’re months behind. It would be the death of swim if that was required and folks weren’t cleared by the first meet. It’s hard enough getting 20+ parent volunteers per school for each meet. |

| I'd like to know what level you need to be. I think I just did Level 1 or whatever it is to be a chapperone. |

I was told that Level I or II was fine.

| Is someone saying that the timers and other swim meet volunteers need to go through some process? We haven’t heard that. |

We were told level II to be a timer. |

Can someone please explain to me what all this is with background checks, etc? What’s involved in the process? Does it cost money?
Our team sent the link, but with no real explanation. I don’t want to create accounts and stuff until I understand what this is |
