Officials - General Information Click here to Signup...

As described in the Registration Package, we need all hands on deck to run a successful meet. Your participation is essential to the success of our swimmer’s experience as they enjoy the thrill of racing.

For the Dr. Ralph Hickens invitational each family in The Mississauga Aquatic Club is required to work the number of volunteer sessions as listed below. In general, each session lasts 3 to 4 hours. If there's more than one swimmer in your family, base your sessions on the most senior program.

youth	Bronze III	Bronze II	Bronze I	Senior Devep.	Silver II	Silver I	Senior	Gold I
1	3	3	4	2	4	5	4	5

Families may also be asked to provide food for the officials and coaches. These details will be provided in advance via your Parent Rep.

Note:

Those families who do not work the required number of sessions will be levied a fee of $50.00 per session not worked. Keep in mind that a $50 bill can't operate a stop-watch, so we'd much rather have your time than your money.
Officials must be a minimum of 14 years of age. This applies to all positions. If your teenager (14+) would like to earn volunteer hours for high school graduation, working the meets as a Timer is a great way to help fulfill this requirement.
Friends & other family members are welcome to volunteer.
If you can work more sessions than are listed above, we'd love to have your help!
