GET YOUR FEET WET!!

Hello swimming friends!

I'm sending one more plea to ask for your help at the Speedo USA Swimming Region VIII Sectional Championship this coming weekend, March 1- March 4th at the Jenks Trojan Aquatic Center. MANY volunteer slots are still available every day of the meet. YOUR help is needed to make this meet great. 2012 is an Olympic year. This meet will feature swimmers who've already qualified for the Olympic Trials or who may qualify during this event. You might witness a potential TEAM USA medal winner at the London Olympics swimming in OUR pool in OUR town! At last report, there are over 600 swimmers entered in this meet. THIS IS A BIG DEAL!!!

Please think about all the things you do in life that require volunteers to make a great experience. I'm not just talking about sporting events. Whether you are a organizer, participant or beneficiary of these events, you know that volunteers make the event. Many unpaid volunteers who have "other lives" are already putting their heart and souls into making this a great experience for these swimmers. Let's show our appreciation by filling the open slots.

Even if you are not swimming at the Jenks pool, please consider volunteering your time. Tulsa Masters and USMS have already benefitted from (and will continue to do so) the support of Jenks Public Schools, Jenks Community Education and Jenks Trojan Swim Club. Getting involved in this meet is a great way say THANKS.

It is easy to sign up for an open slot. An on line 'job signup' sheet is available. Many openings are still available. Some jobs require knowledge of competitive swimming, some do not. There is a brief description of each job on the sign up sheet. Most of the slots require a 4 hr commitment; a few less than that. Your significant other can help, too. Scroll through the list to see the available positions, the time slot, and the names of those who've already made a commitment (thank you!).
