Volunteer

The SMST swim meets require a LOT of help from parent volunteers to be successful and affordable. Every family is expected to contribute via volunteering at the meets. It truly is a team effort running a meet working together to get the swimmers to their races. Parent volunteers are needed at both home and away meets. When we travel to our host's pool, we need to provide volunteers for many of the positions needed to run the meet.

Swim meet volunteer positions are divided into two shifts: first half and second half. This means that you do not have to volunteer all day and miss watching your child(ren) compete. You can volunteer for the first half and/or the second half. The choice is yours. It is quite common for one parent to volunteer for the first shift and the other parent volunteer for the second shift. With younger children, this is the model that most parents follow as it allows one parent to monitor and manage the child(ren) while getting to see some of the events. We have a great structure that helps run meets smoothly. Please make sure you do your part and things will run smoothly. Thank you!
