1. Swim meets are run by volunteers; we need you.

2. Meet new friends both at officiating clinics and helping at meets.

3. Get free food and beverages just for helping at meets.

4. The time passes a lot faster and more pleasantly when you are helping.

5. Learn more for your own interest, for example, understanding more of what is involved in your child’s
    swimming can only help your relationship with them.

6. Learn more to help your child (i.e., why might they be DQ’ed).

7. If you have previously taken clinics, learn something new or take a refresher (rules do change).
