Description
Next Saturday, November 23 - our site of PASA will be hosting
the Big Dual Meet vs. QSS (morning) and the PASA Candy Championship
Meet (Afternoon) at Gunn High School. This is our first of
two one day meets we are running this Fall, We are excited to
run these smaller and shorter meets.
Running these meets is very important for our site of PASA.
First, it provides a race opportunity for our swimmers.
Second, it is one of our team's fundraisers. Finally, the
meets provide us the opportunity to serve the overall PASA
team.
The proceeds from the meet are used to make this team the best
it can be for your swimmers. So, by helping to put on
this great meet, you are helping to make this team better for your
swimmers!! So please sign up to volunteer at this meet. You
can sign up
- HERE
The morning session of the meet on November 23 is for our
Elite and Varsity swimmers. Therefore, we will NEED the
parents of every Elite swimmer who is participating in the morning
session Big Dual meet to sign up for a volunteer
position.
The afternoon session of the meet is the 14&under PASA
Candy Championship meet for swimmers in our 9-10, 11-13 and JV
groups. Therefore, we will NEED the parents of everyone who
swims in the afternoon session to sign up for a volunteer
position.
FYI, this is a great time for any high school swimmer to
complete required volunteer hours for their high schools, so we
would love to see Elite swimmers (or older siblings) sticking
around and helping out with the afternoon session.
Since we are running this meet, we require more types of
volunteers than just timers, as we do at meets we go to that are
hosted by other team. Running a meet takes a lot of work, but
we find is a great way of bonding a team as we are all serving a
sacrificing for the better good of the team.
Here is the description of the Volunteer Jobs
available
1) Announcer - Do you like to talk? Do you like
entertaining? This is the job for you. This person uses
the PA system to make announcements during the meet.
2) Runner/Intermediary – this is a perfect job
for those who are looking to get exercise while at the meet.
This job requires some walking around as you will be posting
results and collect sheets from timers. You also need to enjoy
numbers, as you will be checking the accuracy of
results.
3) Head Timer – This person starts a couple back
up watches at the beginning of each heat just in case one of the
timers’ watches does not work. You are the guru of
stopwatches.

officials well hydrated and fueled!! Please!!! Talk to Judith Kau

5) Meet Marshals – This is the job for someone
who would like to help provide a safe environment for the
swimmers. You will supervise the pool during warm ups and the
movements on deck. Must be prepared to enforce rules. Marshal
positions will be rotated and regular breaks given.
6) Snack Bar – Have you worked for a start
up? Are you an entrepreneur? Do you like to sell
things? Do you like money? Do you like food? If
you answered yes to any of these questions, this is the job for
you. Please talk to Juan Zhang directly if you are interested
in this position.
7) Timer – Push a timing button and a stopwatch
after each race
8) Official – If you are a certified official, we
