[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate timing- I suspect I have poor reflexes and am always worried about messing it up.  Happy to work concessions though.[/quote]

I love timing!  I really do not like S&T - so unhappy when I have to DQ a little kid. [/quote]

Love this about the range of volunteer jobs.  [b]Our reps always tell us there's something for everyone[/b].  I love S&T, hate timing and clerk of course.  Have never tried concessions.[/quote]

There really is. If parents hate the pressure of timing or S&T they can marshal. If they don't want to stand around in the sun they can do awards which literally involves putting stickers on ribbons. yet, there are still parents who chose to do absolutely nothing at every single meet. [/quote]

Exactly!  I posted up thread, but I love being clerk of course.  I get to know the kids and other parents, stay busy, and can keep an eye on my kids.  Standing or sitting for hours is no good for me physically, but the moving around associated with CoC works well.

I'll probably get certified for S&T once all of my kids are swimming, because it sounds interesting and I'm also good at letting kids and parents down easy if I have to DQ them.  And I can handle parents who might protest ;)[/quote]
