EARLY GATEKEEPER 
Arrive by 7 am on Saturday (Wed. 3:30 pm) to monitor the side gate. Only set-up crew is allowed in before 7:30 on Saturdays (Wednesdays 4 pm).  At 7:30 on Saturdays (4 pm on Wednesdays), families are allowed in through the front door of the lobby (never through the side gate that you are guarding).

HEAD TIMER 
Start and stop 2 stopwatches for each event. For any Timer who needs a replacement stopwatch, give one of the 2 you have. Collect stopwatches at end of meet and turn into Volunteer Coordinator.

LANE PLUNGER 
Depress a plunger when swimmer touches wall at end of race. Plungers are hanging from the awnings near the starting blocks. Many teams now have wireless button systems with remote devices attached to lanyards. The plunger/button press will communicate the swim time to the computer system that controls the scoreboard.

LANE TIMER 
Start and stop stopwatch for each event. Show time to the Recorder. You will also operate a plunger/button.

Record times for each swimmer from the Timers. Hand completed recording papers to Paper Runner when requested. You will also operate a plunger/button.
