We&nbsp;invite&nbsp;you to consider joining our organisation as a volunteer. We currently have a happy band of volunteers who fill a number of key roles at our Brisbane region swim meets, but we are looking to increase our numbers. As with all major sporting events, volunteer involvement is an integral part of our events. Many of our volunteers have been with us for a number of years, and a strong spirit of camaraderie exists among them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Some roles filled by volunteers at our swim meets:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Ticketing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Medal Presentations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Requirements and Expectations:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Background in or knowledge of the sport of swimming is not required<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We provide a supportive environment as you are teamed with an experienced volunteer who will support you and walk you through everything you need to know<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The best part is that you choose how much time and how often you volunteer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Swim Meets:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Swimming Brisbane conducts a number of swim meets each year for clubs in the Brisbane Region, which provide opportunities for swimmers to achieve qualifying times to compete at State level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All our swim meets are usually held over a weekend (Saturday &amp; Sunday).
