Swim for Charlie will be hosting a masters (swimmers ages 18-90) swim meet Sunday morning April 13th at the Orange County Sportsplex in Hillsborough, NC a 20 minute drive from the NCCU campus.
The meet is scheduled to start at 8:50 and timers are asked to get to the pool by 8:15 for an orientation.
To run the meet Swim for Charlie will need 20 timers.
Timers have 2 responsibilities: 1) make sure the right swimmer is in the right event, the right heat, and the right lane and 2) provide accurate backup times for every swim.
A timer will be assigned to a lane and each lane will have a clipboard with a sheet of paper with the names of the swimmers for that lane with space to record the time for the swimmer.
Timers are given a stopwatch to use at the meet. The stopwatch is started when the starting beep sounds and is stopped when the swimmer touches the wall at the end of the swim. Timers will then record the time on the sheet on the clipboard.
There are 2 timers for each lane. There are chairs for the timers at each lane.
Timers will be given a Swim for Charlie tee shirt and will be provided hospitality snacks/drinks throughout the meet.
