Volunteers
If you have attended a swim meet at Pine Acres, you know it takes many volunteers to run a meet. The success of our swim program and meets depends upon the involvement of parent volunteers. The clubs are required to supply volunteers to help run each meet. Some of the jobs are: timers, runners who collect cards from timers and deliver to scoring table, Cards-handing cards to swimmers for their events, and Ribbons-applying stickers to placement ribbons and filing in team box. These are all “on the job training” positions that require no previous experience. Thank you in advance for all of your help! Volunteer signups will be done through SignUp Genius.
