Parent Volunteers

The Covington Critters Swim Team is an All-Volunteer Team. We ask parents to volunteer a minimum of 5 times throughout the summer season. While the parents are handling the various volunteer jobs, the coaches can fulfill their role to organize the swimmers for each event and watch them swim so they can provide guidance to further enhance stroke technique.

Parent volunteer jobs include timers, recorders, runners, course clerks, pre-meet shoppers, snack bar/concessions staffers, set-up & clean-up assistants, ribbon writers, and helpers to assure the younger swimmers get to their events. Parent volunteer jobs are easy to learn and do not require previous experience. Most parents can be trained at the swim meet just before their volunteer shift.

Most of our jobs require a short-term commitment at the swim meets themselves, but we have other behind-the-scenes jobs available for those for whom volunteering at a meet is absolutely impossible. If you can't volunteer at a meet, let us know so that we can help you fulfill the volunteer requirement. If you have a special skill you think we can use…please let us know!

Whether you just can’t wait to be a volunteer or are willing to help out, send Beth Caltagirone an email using the contact Volunteer Coordinator page here.
