Time to Enter the Association State Meet!! April 4th 5th and 6th at Mt. Hood. The entry system is online now at Oregon Masters Swimming. I will be putting relays together as soon as entry deadline is done on March 25th. As you know we narrowly missed being State Champs last year in Bend. It was a valiant effort swam by all. This year on our home court we should exact some revenge and be State Champs again as we have the last 3 out of 4 years!! Please let me know if you need help with entry times. This is a great chance to swim in your first races if you haven't ever competed. We may have some challenges from La Camas and Hood River so we need everyone to sign up for at least 4 races and the veterans their normal 6 events!!! Let's do this gang.

Lastly we need help with timers and volunteers!! Aubree hasn't heard from a lot of you yet. If your swimming get a family member or friend to come help out PLEASE.!! If your not swimming you need to help. Its a easy job and we feed you!! We need to get on this now so call family and friends NOW and let Aubrey know ASAP!!

Volunteers Needed for Associations Swim Meet

Feb 26, 2014, 8:59 pm

Hello REIGN,

We are hosting the Oregon Masters Swimming Short Course Yard Championship Meet at Mt Hood, Friday-Sunday, April 4th-6th It's time to start preparing and lining up volunteers for the meet. Warm-ups begin at 2PM on Friday with competition beginning at 3PM. On Saturday and Sunday, warm-ups begin at8AM and the meet begins at 9AM (full meet info is also below). I am looking for volunteers to fill the following positions and asking for donations to our hospitality room. The hardest seats to fill are the timers chairs and we will need 16 timers each day. If you plan on swimming in the meet, as we hope most of you do, please volunteer whatever time you can. Talk up the meet to family and friends; you can‘t get any closer to the action then a timers chair, and if they are going to be there cheering you on, please ask if they wouldn't mind volunteering. Take a look below, and if something strikes your fancy, email me back what you would like to do and when you are available and I will add you to my volunteer list! Thanks to you all in advance.

Entries are due online/must be postmarked by March 25th so you still have plenty of time to sign up!!

Volunteers:

Head Timer (1 per day)
Head timer is in charge of starting extra watches at the start of each race so that if a timer misses the start of the race they can get a back-up watch from the head timer.
Runners (2 per day)
Runners help take timers results to the crows nest for entry into the Dak-Tronics system.
Timers (16 per day)
Plan to arrive at least 30 minutes before the meet begins on the day(s) you are to time for a timers meeting (time TBA).

**Timers must be at least 12 years of age**
Marshals (2 per day)
Marshals watch the warm-up/warm-down area to be sure people are not diving when they are not supposed to, help clear lanes for starts and after warm-ups and breaks so competition can begin. Plan to arrive arrive at least 10 minutes before warm-up begins on the day(s) you are to marshal.

Clean Up Crew (Sunday only)
Misc.
Not sure what you can do to help…let me know what day(s) you are available and I will find something for you to help out with. The more the merrier!!

Hospitality Donations:
I will be providing drinks (water, soda, coffee, etc) and some other large items. Bring whatever you like. Remember, this is mostly for the officials and our own volunteers; snacks, finger foods, tasty summer treats, etc. If making a hospitality donation, let me know what you are planning to bring on which day so that I can plan ahead for extra goodies if needed.
