Matthew is on a swim team this summer and we experienced our first full-blown swim meet last week. Every square inch of the pool deck was occupied by somebody's feet. It was hot and it was crowded.
But it ran like a well-oiled machine.
- Everyone received an event sheet by email in advance, stating the exact time of each swimmer's event and what stroke was expected.
- Many parent volunteers are necessary to fill positions of timer, shepherd, runner, concessions, and so on. All positions were filled and no one skipped a beat.
With the swim team leadership providing good communication of expectations, I am watching closely to decide which role I can fulfill as a future parent volunteer.
Our team won the meet that night. Matthew swam three events and received ribbons for each. Check them out (with my added comments of course)!
