Swim meets do not happen without volunteers to officiate! Teams are not able to host meets unless they have sufficient qualified officials! Timekeeping is a critical role for a meet to be successful and it is also the best seat in the house to see the meet!  Volunteering at meets is also a great way to meet your volunteer commitment to the team!
