OFFICIALS AND VOLUNTEERS FOR HOME MEET - NOV 4/12

WE NEED YOU!!!

IF YOU ALREADY RESPONDED PLEASE NOTE YOUR MESSAGE HAS BEEN FORWARDED TO THE APPROPRIATE EXECUTIVE MEMBER.

It takes an amazing number of volunteers to run even a small meet, and the start of the season is a great time to get trained up. More than 30 officials are needed to make a meet session happen! We need eighteen Timekeepers alone as t
hree timers are used per lane per session.

We are offering two Swim Officials’ clinics 10:15-noon on Nov 4, upstairs at the pool. The TIMEKEEPERS COURSE is the place to begin as it explains the overview of how the meet works (certainly takes the mystery out for the novice parent) and provides instruction on the use of a sports stopwatch. Timing at swim meets guarantees the best seat in the house!

Already signed off as a Timer? Then CLERK OF COURSE may be the course for you. This is another important role on deck, ensuring that swimmers, timers and other officials know when and where the swimmers need to be. This is an opportunity to meet coaches and see all the swimmers as they assemble for their races. It is a great place to be!

As soon as possible, please contact Doug Rodgers, our Club's Officials' Chair, by email at dkml.rodgers@sympatico.ca or 613-584-4023 613-584-4023 .

Don't delay! THE KIDS NEED YOUR HELP!
