Swim Meet Volunteer Jobs Sign Up Sheet (free, online)

How to set it up

A home meet runs on parent jobs: timers on every lane, runners carrying sheets, a hospitality room for officials, someone at the computer table, concessions and cleanup. Most clubs require a set number of jobs per family per season. Post each session as its own section with the jobs and head counts under it, and put the session times on the rows so a timer knows to be on deck at 7:15.

The mistake is a spreadsheet with families' names typed in by the meet director. Let families claim their own jobs, and the page keeps the count per family for the season. Reminders go out the day before each session, and a cancel link reopens the lane for the next family instead of leaving it empty.

Questions people ask

Can we count jobs per family for the season?

Yes. Every checked-in job rolls up per volunteer and per family under Hours, so the meet director never rebuilds the tally.

Timers need training. Can we mark that?

Add a checkbox at signup, 'I've timed before', and put the briefing time in the row note.

Who runs the page besides the meet director?

Add the officials chair and the hospitality lead as co-organizers. They each manage their own jobs from their own dashboard.

Why not a paper sheet or a Google Form?

A paper sheet lives in one place and fills up with the first people who walk past it. A Google Form takes forty signups for a row that needed two, and you find out in the spreadsheet. An online sign-up sheet closes each row when it's covered, sends a reminder the day before, and gives every person a link to cancel so the spot reopens. See the side-by-side with Google Forms.
