Meet Information for Parents

Allstars Page

Volunteering: Summer league swim meets are dependent upon volunteers. All parents will be expected to volunteer for most meets during the season. Our greatest needs are at home meets. We also are in need of stroke and turn volunteers. These individuals must take a short class to become certified officials, which can either be online or in person. In person certification is preferred for first time officials.  Those that are already GHSA or USA Swim Certified do not have to take the course.   

Volunteer Positions

Runner: Gather DQ slips from officials and time sheets from timers to deliver to the scoring table. One for each half, total of 2.

Verifier:  Enter times into Meet Maestro software and verify scores against timing sheets.

Shepherds:  Keep up with your assigned swimmers, ensure they are at their events, and return them to parents(for the littles) at the end of their events for that day. Twelve total needed to have 2 for each age group, boys and girls.
