Announcer:  Keeps everyone informed during the meet. They announce the events and heats, give swimmers a 1st and 2nd call to report for their races, highlight sponsors, and make other announcements as needed. They work closely and communicate with the Starter. Home meets only.

Starter: Uses the bullhorn to start races. The referee will signal when the race is ready to start. The starter sits with the announcer within ten feet of the start end. Home meets only.

Computer/Score Enterer: Inputs places and times into the computer software during the meet. Training required.

Scorekeeper: Collects and tallies the score cards from the runners. Gives appropriate points to the Score Enterer. 

Place Judge:  Announces or writes the order of finishers in each race by sight. There are two place judges at each end of the pool. Each place judge sits with an opponent's place judge. One calls the order of finishers and the other writes down the order of finishers once they agree on the order. These forms are then collected by the runner who will turn it into the scoring table.

Timer:  Uses a stopwatch to time races and records the times (one timer/lane). Timers push the start button on the stopwatch at the sound of the bullhorn and push the stop button when any part of the swimmer’s body touches the solid end of the pool. The Runner will collect the lane timer sheets.

Runner: Collects the lane timer sheets, place judge forms cards, and DQ slips and promptly delivers to the scorers' table.  Wear your tennis shoes for this job!
