MEET The Ohio Senior Committee & GCSTO will need the help of your USA Swimming certified officials. OFFICIALS Please contact Steve Nye at [email protected] to provide the names, email addresses, telephone number and certification level of your official’s who wish to volunteer.

TIMERS The Ohio Senior Committee & GCSTO will need the help of your parents to time as we will simply not have enough individuals from our team capable of staffing the entire meet. All timer volunteers will have shaded conditions (we have tents to cover the timers), will be well watered and will be fed ample finger-food throughout the course of each session. For the Creekside timed final portions of our meet we will continue to pay volunteers from other teams at least $15 per session for each session it is that they help time. We will use volunteers into any open timing positions it is that are still needed. Pre-registration to time for volunteers from visiting teams can be done by contacting GCSTO’s volunteer coordinator, Julie Pastor, at [email protected] (please note “Creekside Meet Volunteer” in your subject line) and providing her with your name, telephone number & mailing address so that checks can be mailed out to you promptly along with information as to which session it is in which you wish to volunteer. We will use volunteers on a first-come-first serve basis. If volunteers are still needed on any day of the meet we will have a sign in sheet at the volunteer table for those who are interested in helping out. For the Senior Circuit prelim/finals portion of our meet we will follow the same procedure to ensure that we have ample volunteers for all sessions paying at least $10 per session for the help. We have run our meet this way for several years in terms of recruiting volunteers and have found this to be a very effective means of recruiting such volunteer help.

3 – There are only 2 small areas that we do not allow spectator seating… one will be on the starting van side of the pool (the block end of the pool on the east side) as that is reserved for meet personnel for timing system, computer & awards operations.

4 – All spectators are to remain off the cemented area around the competitive course. This is considered deck area and is reserved for coaches, officials, meet workers and athletes, only.

There is a small diving bay available, as well, so you have ample time and space for warm-ups and warm-downs during the meet.
