Location Ambassadors
Starting up or starting back swimming as an adult can be pretty intimidating. It takes some courage to show up at 5am in the morning and strip down to a Speedo in front of people you probably don't know. This is especially intimidating if you are new to the sport. This is why it is important to have people who are on the look out and ready to greet these new members.
Erin and I want to thank the Palmeritos below for volunteering to be the Location Ambassadors at each of the practices. They will be on the look-out for new members, make sure they understand how the lanes "run" (fastest to slowest), where the gear is kept (fins, kick boards, etc...), point them to the coach on deck, and make sure they get their new member swag.
Thanks for your help in keeping the "small team" feel with our growing group!!

USMS Needs Officials!!
You no longer have to be a member of USA Swimming or do a background check in order to be a stroke and turn judge at a Masters swim meet. That alone will save you about $100 a year out of your own pocket when trying to be a "volunteer". The entire process is free.
You set up an account at the link below with USA Swimming, watch 6 videos, take the test and pass with at least 80% correct answers. You take the results and forward to the US Masters national office.
We will sit down as a board/coaches this fall and discuss how else we can support and promote this important job. If we want to continue to grow the team in the future and offer larger and more Masters swim meets in the upcoming aquatic center(s) in the area down the road, we need to grow our pool of officials.
