Volunteer Assignments:
Volunteer assignments have been established for all the meets. Please see the appropriate document:
- Girls Meets Assignments
- Boys Meets Assignments
- Diving Assignments


As you can see, there are several openings in some of the meets that need to be filled in order for us to conduct the meet. Some parents have not yet signed up, so hopefully we can fill those open positions with those parents. If you would like to volunteer for any additional postions, please contact us.

Our Meet Directors - Karen Sokol (Boys) and Bill Case (Girls) will be organizing the meets and will help explain what each volunteer position entails.

Some of the areas where we are lacking help include Starter/Referee for Boys, Stroke & Turn Judges, and Finish Judges.

Please consider getting trained to be a Stroke & Turn Official or a Starter/Referee.  The following free clinics will be offered over the next two weeks:

Stroke & Turn Clinics (all start at 7:00pm):
- 10/14 at Methacton
- 10/16 at Centennial
- 10/22 at Pennsbury
- 10/23 at Upper Merion

Starter/Referee Clinics (all start at 7:00pm):
- 10/15 at Upper Dublin
- 10/21 at Upper Merion

Once you go through training, you may shadow one of the Stroke & Turn judges at our meets until you are comfortable taking over.

Please contact us if you need additional information or directions to these clinics:  winter@pennridgeaquaticclub.org
   
   
Time Trials - Saturday, 10/25:
All swimmers and divers are encouraged to attend Time Trials on Saturday, October 25th. Diving 1:00-2:30pm and Swimming 3:00-6:00pm. What are time trials? Glad you asked. Time Trials is a "practice" meet where swimmers will be timed in all regular meet events (except relays). Every swim team member should come to Time Trials so that the coaches have a basis of where to place the swimmer in upcoming competition meets.
We will run this meet like a normal meet so parents will be needed to help time (2-3 timers per lane are needed) and organize the swimmers. Stop watches will be provided. More information to follow.
* Please email us if your swimmer will NOT be attending Time Trials.
