Volunteer Duties

Age Group Bullpen Parents – (2 for each team per age group) Age Group Bullpen Parents are responsible for taking (6 & Under, 8 & under, 10 & under) swimmers in their assigned group to the main bullpen to the side of the diving blocks: the area where the swimmers are lined up for their event. Swimmers report to the Line Up Bullpen at least 4 events ahead of their scheduled event. These age groups should remain in the bullpen between their events.
