Parent Volunteer Sign up Instructions
We are going to manage Volunteer Assignments differently than we have in the past. Instead of assigning volunteers the morning of the meet, please sign up for the jobs before the meet. Please sign up only for jobs you are qualified to hold and volunteer for approximately 5 swim meets. Here are the steps to sign-up:
- Go to the Schedule page:
- Click on the green “Job Signup” Link to the right of the applicable swim meet.
- Click “sign up for jobs” under the applicable parent.
- Click “check to sign up” next to the job you would like to volunteer for and click “save assignment”.
