Volunteer Requirements

The Devenger Dolphins rely on the support and involvement from 100% of our families to ensure a successful swim season.  Swim meets are run completely by volunteer parents and given the number of volunteers needed (at least 100 per meet), every swim team family needs to participate. Each family is required to have a volunteer representative during at least one half of each meet in which their swimmer participates.

  • Preseason each parent is asked to choose THREE Volunteer jobs that they would be willing to perform during the season.
  •  SAIL certification either in class or online  is required for Stroke and Turn.
  • Families must also be available to help with clean-up during one home meet. Clean-up involves putting away all of the equipment used during the meet and returning the pool deck to its normal, recreational use.

Meet Expectations

Check-In with the volunteer coordinator and obtain volunteer name badge.  At home meets the volunteer table is set up inside the main pool entrance and generally near our team tent at away meets.  Please return the lanyards by the end of the meet.

Volunteer Assignments can be viewed by the Job Signup button for the meet or on the Swimtopia app.

First half volunteers (working events 1 - 40) should be in position no later than 15 minutes prior to the start of the meet.

First half tent parents need to report by 30 minutes before the start of the meet.

Second half volunteers should sign in and obtain their name tags as well and be ready to work anytime around event 38 as you take over at event 41. The starter will make announcements for second half volunteers when your start time is approaching.

Second half tent parents should check in with first half tent parents periodically as you begin working when you start calling swimmers for Event 41 which will happen 20 - 30 minutes BEFORE this event is in the water.
