Good Afternoon,

We will be opening up sign ups for jobs for our first home meet of the season, the GBSA 2024 Thanksgiving Swim Fest, on 11/02/2024 at 8:30am. Please remember:

• An adult representative from each family is REQUIRED to earn a minimum of five volunteer points over the ten sessions held during the meets we host on November 15-17, 2024 , and February 7-9, 2025. This requirement applies even if your swimmer is not entered in these meets. Each home meet has one Friday night session, two Saturday sessions (morning and afternoon) and two Sunday sessions (morning and afternoon). Each session lasts from 3-5 hours. A list of meet-related volunteer opportunities is listed on our team site. All roles are assigned a point value, and Swimtopia will keep track for you. Most jobs are worth one point and will cover one entire session. Only those roles fulfilled at GBSA-hosted meets count toward the five points, and you may work in several different roles to fulfill the requirement.

Time slots for most jobs will correlate to event numbers for clarity, as end times can be hard to guesstimate. Most jobs will require you to start prior to the start of the session, and that time will be stated in the job description. I have attached a blank signup sheet so that you can get a picture of what the jobs are that are needed along with their individual time commitments. Pay CLOSE attention to start and end times. Older swimmers or siblings are welcome to volunteer. Email [email protected] with any questions.

Thanks, and swim fast GBSA!
