[quote=Anonymous]Why cant the older swimmers do some of the timing? Or take the swim & turn clinic to be "certified"?
Therefore, reducing the volunteer load of parents.

The older kids don't swim until the end of a meet so the first part (like fir the 8& indrrs through like 9/10) can be the older kids being the clerk of course or the data runner or a timer. Theyre not doing much in the first part of a meeting anyway. And the coach can have them switch out so not one older kid is stuck in the same thing.

Im making this suggestion from years of volleyball (and also from yrs on our neighborhood swim team so ive seen how lack of volunteers is so tough). In volleyball, DD is required to take referee training and score keeping bc the girls rotate as down refs, score keepers, and line judges during the "down time" between their games in their tournament. 
The traing also helps the players learn a lot of the rules and roation regulations too for example. So it's a win-win all around.

Could work, the idea needs to be tweaked a bit, but it could def work for something like the low pressure Monday B meets.[/quote]
