Thank you for taking the time to be an active and present part of the Tarrington Swim Team! This page will become your gateway to helping the team swim to victory. We will post news, schedules and information to help you get where you are going and help keep the team on track.
The latest volunteer schedules will be posted here for you to download as they come available:
We ask that parents or guardians volunteer at each swim meet whether home or away. It is our obligation and a great way to make new and long lasting friends.
With your help the Tarrington Swim Team is a great summer activity for our children. The Tiger Sharks rely completely on parent support! Therefore signing up to help with meets is mandatory.
We have 3 home and 3 away meets. Away meets require fewer volunteers. Volunteers for most positions are asked to serve in either the first or the second half of the meet only. It is expected that if you have a child swimming in a meet then a parent is volunteering in one of the following positions:
Timer(Avg. 28 Volunteers) – Use stop watch to time each swim event. Click HERE to download timer guidelines.
Runner(6 per meet) – Pick-up cards from timers, sweep judges, and officials and deliver to the scorer’s table.
Table Worker(2 per meet) – Help score the meet, print results, and label ribbons.
Hospitality(6 per meet) - Make sure each worker gets beverages during the meet.
Clerk of Course(4 per meet)– Organize swimmers in their heats & lanes for each event.
Mite Parent(3 per meet) – Help get the mites and youth swimmers lined up and to the blocks for their events.
Strokes and Turns(6 per meet)– Checks the swimmers for proper strokes and turns – this position requires training. Click HERE to download strokes and turns guidelines.
Starter(1 per meet) – Starts each event – this position requires training.
Concessions – Sell snacks/grill items for our home meets.
Another
great way to support your child’s summer is to get involved in the

parents who care to get in the action.
