I serve as an official at almost all of our meets, but I have a friend who struggles with heat who swears by being on the set up crew as her volunteer position. She finishes her job while it is still early and not too hot, and they are always looking for people to do that job.

I try to rack up my volunteering everywhere that I don't have to hold still. I do lots of things outside of the meets (including helping at almost all of the social events). At the meets themselves, Spouse times, but I tend to either help with setup or serve as a runner. I'd rather be in motion in the sun then stand still in it (and this lets me seek out little shade breaks, too).

I am an older mom with a couple health issues that cause heat sensitivity. I struggle with finding volunteer jobs that I can do without fainting or worse. I can't even think about being a timer or something that would require me to stand for hours in the heat. I try to split the jobs with my husband. Neck fan helps, and stay hydrated
