Volunteer
Coordinator: Shannon Tiemeyer

Awards:
Time improvement – these awards are handed
out weekly at practice after the first meet. The
time information will be given to volunteers, and
they fill out “award” form and separate them into
age groups. These awards are given out by the
coaches during practice the following week.
End of year – these volunteers are
responsible for ordering and organizing the end of
year towels and trophies for the awards banquet.
Casino Night:
This is our annual fund raiser for the Cudas.
Volunteers on this committee help obtain donations
for silent and live auction items, help in the
planning, and set up of Casino Night, and “host”
this event. This year Casino Night will be held on
June 13th.
Concessions:
These volunteers run the “Cuda Snack Shack”!! There
are several ways to help out in this area:
Shopping: these volunteers help shop for
supplies needed for the concession stand each week.
Baking: these volunteers make cookies,
breakfast tacos ,etc. as agreed on by the
concessions manager. They are made a head of time
and brought the day of the meet.
Concession workers – these folks run the Snack
Shack during meets. You can sign up for an entire
meet, or for a shift!
Cooks – the Grill Masters!! Volunteers are
needed for manning the grill during meets!
Set up – The most fun of the day….early
morning set up! The best coffee to be found is
available for those early morning risers while
everything is brought together.
Data Entry/
Computer Room: The “coolest” jobs we’ve
got….literally! These are the ones for those of you
that like an air conditioned room!
Data Entry volunteers help in the computer
room by verifying event times before they are
entered into the swim meet computer. This isn’t a
hard job, you just need to know how to use a pencil
and make a circle!!
Computer Room – these folks are responsible
for inputting swimmers info the day of the meet,
entering times, and printing out line ups. A class
on Meet Manager is recommended, this will be
provided by the swim team.
End of Year
Banquet: - these volunteers will help in the
planning, decorating and organizing of the End of
Season Banquet. There is also a committee that will
set up the day of the event.
Merchandise -
the Cuda shopkeeper. Help with the purchase
and sale of Cuda items like yard signs, decals,
caps, clothing, goggles, etc.
Officials – We
need you!! The meet can’t happen with out officials.
You get the best seat in the house, get to wear cool
white clothes, and are an invaluable part of the
volunteer team. Certification is required and
provided.
Party planning
– These volunteers plan and coordinate our spirit
parties! These are held throughout the season. Fun,
fun, fun!!!
Ready Bench –
The meet really flies by here!! Ready bench
volunteers help line swimmers up in their assigned
lanes, assist swimmers from the waiting area to the
pool deck, and help relay teams line up in order.
This area is crucial to keeping the meet running
efficiently and smoothly.
Ribbons –
these spots are really cool too!! These folks help
in the computer room mid-way through the meet until
the end of the meet, to organize the ribbons won by
each team. Again, this volunteer area is in the air
conditioned computer room!!
Sign In –
These volunteers check in all Cuda swimmers at
meets, both home and away. You will be set up at a
table, and check off swimmers as they sign in. This
job is completed before the meet starts, as the list
has to be turned into the computer room by 8am. You
will have to be there a little early!! (But maybe
someone will bring you a doughnut!!)
Tent Parents –
Some of our most cherished volunteers!! These folks
are responsible for an age group tent. They check
the kids in, make sure they get to the ready bench
in time for their events, and for the younger kids,
make sure they get back to the tent! Sign up with a
friend or two, it’s easier and more fun to share the
job!
Timers/Scribes/Runners – This area requires a
huge amount of volunteers at each meet!
Timers – these folks time all events during
their shift. There are three timers in each lane at
all times. There are generally two shifts during
each meet.
Scribes – these folks verify the swimmer’s
name in their assigned lane, write down the times
called out by the timers, and give heat ribbons to
10 and under swimmers in one particular lane.
Runners – these individuals will carry event
sheets from head timer to computer room. They will
also bring out event sheets to officials and ready
bench volunteers.
Set Up – The
muscle behind the Cudas! This is our crew that set
up the age group tents; tents and chairs by the pool
(home meets), ready bench, etc. They help get our
equipment ready for weekly meets! They have lots of
fun too!!!
