[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your team has year round swimmers, surely some of those parents are trained as S&T judges, etc? That's where we get ours and we usually have enough so they only work half the meet.[/quote]

There are so many year-round swim parents who do not volunteer it makes me sad- some of the parents are from NCap, which of course has a pretty hefty fine if you don’t time during the year so maybe they are burnt out, who knows.

[b]We have two refs and four S&T, which means they are all working almost every meet- is that normal?[/b][/quote]

DP - to the bolded, no, our officials aren't working every single meet (or close to it).  We have probably 10 experienced S&T plus 6 new people this year; six of the experienced S&T are also starters, refs, chief judges.  They're training some of the other experienced S&T in those roles.

My kids swim year-round (not with NCAP) and I timed at at least half a dozen meets.  That's less tiring to me than being in the stands![/quote]
