We can’t do it without You! A timer is someone who records the time for a swimmer’s race with a stopwatch. For each dual-team meet, we need to have 3 timers per lane ( league rules. And gives you a great view of the meet. More information on Timing a Meet. Usually two people who will periodically collect the DQ slips from the stroke judges and the lane timer sheets from the timers and bring them to the scoretable. Not hard. This is the greatest job!

Rain | Whispering Oaks Blue Marlins
http://bluemarlins.woswimclub.org/blue-marlins/meets/rain
What do we do if it rains? If it is raining on the day of a meet, all teams must show up to the meet or a forfeit will take place. Only the meet referee can call a meet off because of rain. The decision takes place only on the day of the meet at the meet site. Just because it is raining where you are, do not assume that it is raining at the meet site. A meet can take place during rain–but not if there is thunder or lightning. Thunder and lightning will cause a 30 minute delay during a meet.

It is critical that you inform Coach Melanie. 4 swimmers per relay. If one doesn’t show up, no one swims. Relays are perhaps the most fun aspect of a meet. It is really disappointing to the other swimmers if a relay swimmer doesn’t show up. You’ll see the coaches shuffling paper around and looking frazzeled at the start of a meet ’cause they are trying to change the line-up at the last minute to compensate for a swimmer or two (or more!
