Volunteer to Chaperone/ Time/ Officiate

Chaperone
I have been contacted by several parents during this process that want to chaperone. If you would like to chaperone, please contact me again via email that you would like to. Currently, we may have rooms to offer you for chaperoning at the PVS rate. We do not have any room on the bus, you would have to follow behind in your personal vehicles. I will do my best assign you your swimmers age group but I can not guarantee it. I can guarantee that it will be a group that swims at the same time as your swimmers. You will not miss any races that your swimmer might be in. An added bonus of being a chaperone- you get a deck pass!!

We MUST provide at least 2 timers per session. If you are planning on attending the meet and can time plesae let me know. The LSC could be fined if we are not able to provide these timers. If you would like to help us out by timing please email me and let me know which day/ session you would like to time.
