Prelims and Finals volunteers
***NOTE*** All teams in the Boulder Valley Summer Swim League provide volunteers in proportion to the number of swimmers that participated on their team in the previous season.  MEETS ARE STAFFED ENTIRELY BY VOLUNTEERS.  Prelims jobs include team tent set-up and break-down, lane timers, and clothing sales for either the 1st or 2nd half of the day.  Finals jobs include those listed for prelims AND crowd control, runners, heating area assistance, and clean-up.
•    Volunteers sign up for positions  at the East pool building, on posted sign-up sheets
•    For 2009 prelims, we will try the “buddy shift” idea:  parents sign up in pairs with a friend or spouse to share that specific duty for the entire half of the meet, dividing it amongst themselves as they see fit (childcare, breaks, etc)
•    Prelims dates (week of July 19th) and Finals (7/25) dates, times, and locations are listed in the handbook.
