Volunteer jobs for meets

SSS Hosted Swim Meets Volunteer descriptions:

The one to two meets our team hosts per year are 100% dependent on swim family volunteers. When help is needed, volunteer sign-up sheets are generally emailed to parents and may be posted on the team bulletin board.  Many hands make light work! Please volunteer to ensure a successful event for our swimmers!
