BCSSA Officials - Running a Meet |
Have you ever wondered how many people it takes to run a swim meet?
Let's count: |

That covers the number of people on deck at one time.
Unless these people wish to do this for 8 hours per day for 2 days, we will need relief for change of shifts!
Of course, don't forget someone had to organize the meet beforehand: |

And I suppose it would be nice to give the swimmers their rewards: |

Of course, since these aren't paid positions;
the only way we can say "Thanks" is to offer food and drink to make the job more comfortable: |

When the meet is over and everyone is happily in their cars going home, don't forget the clean-up and tear-down crew...

Oh no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Who is left to take down the club tent!!
This is why summer swimming must have the motto:
IF EVERYONE DOES THEIR BIT, NO ONE HAS TO DO TOO MUCH.
