Hello Team Families,

This first meet is a combine meet at Brookridge

8223 103rd St, Overland Park, KS 66212

Please be there no later than 5:15pm

Check in with your coach when you arrive.

Please remember to sign up for volunteer positions at least two times for each swimmer you have on the team.

Volunteer Needs for This Meet To Run

Timers (7 still needed): The meet cannot run without timers. Timers collect the swimmer’s time card before each race and use stopwatches to record times. Since this is not a home meet, another timer will typically record the official time on the card.

Card Runner (1 needed): After each race, the card runner collects all race cards from the timers and delivers them to the computer table. No actual running is required, but there is quite a bit of walking.

Miscellaneous Volunteer Opportunities

These roles can include:

• Helping ensure swimmers remain in the team area.
• Making sure swimmers have their event cards before reporting to the Clerk of Course.
• Escorting swimmers ages 13 and under to the Clerk of Course when their event is called.
• Serving as a Clerk of Course and becoming familiar with our team’s seating area.

Helpful Hints for Before the Meet

Swimmers will be given their cards for swimming. Parents should keep these cards and hand them to their swimmer before the events. Do NOT go to the Clerk of the Course without your card!

If you leave the meet early, you need to let your coach know. They may want your swimmer to swim another event

We appreciate everyone’s help in making the meet run smoothly. Thank you for volunteering and supporting our swimmers!

As always, don't hesitate to reach out to myself or your coach for any questions you might have. We are here to help you, please ask!
