Timer

volunteers. Two timers (one from each team) for each swimmer are required at the
dual meets (the times are averaged). The home team timer is responsible for
writing down the times.
Starter

events and fires the gun (or sets off the "beeper") to start the
races.
Stroke
Judge
The trained (and county certified) volunteer parents who watch the
swimmers during their races and determine that the starts, strokes and turns are
performed properly. A swimmer who does not meet the established requirements
will be disqualified, or "DQ'd."
