Swim Meet Volunteer Positions

Several volunteer positions need to be filled for each session of each swim meet that FAST runs. A sign-up sheet will be available for some time prior to the meet which will give you an opportunity to sign up for your favorite position. Don't be shy -- this is your huge opportunity to help the team!

Here are the positions we need to fill and their descriptions
