[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn’t know I would have to volunteer either. I paid my money for my kid to be on the team. Our meets are at night this year and go until gone 9pm. They always ask for timers but I’m hesitant because I don’t want to be stuck there that late. I have to get up for work at 5am so I usually head out when DD is done. [/quote]

At our pool the very first email from reps, as well as the swim team webpage, states that it takes three dozen adults to make a meet happen so you should expect to volunteer.  If being on deck late is hard, see if they split B meet positions into two shifts and then volunteer in the first half.  Our team also has lots of volunteer positions that aren't on deck.  For example, you could come an hour early and help set up for the meet.  Someone has to make the run to buy concessions food earlier in the week at Costco, you could do that.  We have volunteers to do the ribbons for each child after each meet.  In non-covid times we need a few volunteers to organize and staff the Friday morning team social breakfasts.  We need a treasurer to handle finances.

Like any activity for kids anywhere, there are a lot of adults involved in making it happen.  [/quote]
