Happy Monday y'all

Thanks to all the parents who signed up to volunteer tomorrow. As we gear up to host our first meet of the season with a competitor team, I'd like to reiterate a few key points about volunteering: 

• If you cannot volunteer tomorrow, please let me know ASAP. Every role is critical and even a single no-show will impact our ability to run the meet successfully. 
• Volunteers must stay for the entire meet. There are some roles (e.g., meet setup, swimmer check-in) where your job is done much early.  Almost all roles require your active involvement through the end of the meet. If you need to step out, please find me or one of the board members to help you out.
• As you heard prior to start of last meet, kid pushers are one of the most critical roles to enable us to keep the meet running on time.  As a kid pusher, 
  • Your primary responsibility is safety of our kids during the meet. Next is making sure the kids gather at the starting area when clerk of course calls for them.
  • Please do NOT leave the kids in your group unattended or let kids wander around. This week is going to be more busy than last since we’ll have another team in the pool deck. All Parents, please remind your kids to stay with the kid pusher, inform him/her if they need to go somewhere, respect/follow the kid pusher's instructions, and most importantly clean up their space before they leave. 
  • If a kid in your group needs to go somewhere (concessions, restroom, etc.) make sure the kid (especially 10 and under) are accompanied by an adult – it can be one of the kid pushers, deck parent, or the kid’s parent/elder sibling/guardian.
  • Make sure all the kids find their parents before you leave the meet. 
• We will do a pre-meet volunteer huddle ~5:30 pm after warmup starts.  Look out for an announcement. Please join so you have the up to date information for the meet. 

In the meantime, if you have questions, please let me know - email me or find me at the pool deck during practice.

Go Killer Whales!!!!
