VOLUNTEER Information

You will receive an email reminding you to check the volunteer job sign-up on Team Unify to verify positions and report times. All volunteers must sign in at the Volunteer Check-In Table in the pool lobby BEFORE each session. You will need to complete a name badge and wear it during the session in which you are working. Please be sure to sign in at the VOLUNTEER table BEFORE your session starts as it is these sheets we will use to determine who has worked and who will receive fines. It is imperative that all volunteers report at the assigned time.

The volunteer person at the table will check you off the list when you sign in. You will be given a name tag to wear during the session.

There will be a drink and snack station available on the starter side of the pool deck for parents working the current session. Access to the hospitality room at the pool will be limited to meet officials and coaches only. Parents, unless you are working hospitality during the current session please do not enter that area.

We need all swim club families to help to make this meet run smooth. Thank you for being so willing to serve and support our staff and your swimmers. Our club staff and swimmers greatly appreciate all that you all do for the club. We could not be successful without you.

Thank you

Here are some Important Things to Remember About Going to a Swim Meet

• Prior to the beginning of the meet, ALL parents should write the events the child will be swimming on the child’s arm. This should include event #, heat #, and lane #. (This information can be found by accessing a heat sheet, which will be posted on the website in the hosted meets section on Thursday, 4/21) This will enable the swimmer to determine if he/she is in the correct place.
  
• All Baylor swimmers will be sitting together in a designated area. All swimmers must remain in that area while they are not swimming an event. Only swimmers, coaches, and meet volunteers will be allowed on the pool deck during the meet. The field house adjacent to the pool will be available for swimmers to camp out to wait for events.   Only swimmers, coaches, and meet volunteers will be allowed on the pool deck during the meet.
• There will NOT be a clerk of course for 8 & Under’s at this meet. However, there will be parent volunteer kid pushers that will be helping the 8 & Unders get to their correct heat and lane for all events.
• Immediately before and after each race, your child should see the coaching staff to get feedback on their performance. This is the best time for the child to get a clear understanding of what things they did well, and what they still need to work on.
• All swimmers are responsible for getting behind the blocks in their correct heat and lane before each race.
• Parents, please remember that the coaches are not responsible for getting swimmers to the blocks for their race. The coaches need to make sure they watch every child’s race. Go out and have fun, and swim your best.
• All parents must remain off the pool deck and in the stands above the pool during the swim meet. The pool is reserved for swimmers, meet officials, and meet volunteers ONLY.
• No Concessions- There will NOT be concessions offered at the meet.  Athletes are asked to bring their own food and snacks.  No glass containers or bottles are allowed.
• PLEASE REMEMBER: We are not all about awards and time standards. Your child may not always have a best time or get an award, but they may do other things that the coaching staff and the swimmer should be proud of.
