How points are earned

Only the main event is scored and earns points toward winning a meet. The main event swimmers are the 3 or 4 fastest timed swimmers for each stroke in each age/gender bracket. Scoring for all individual events:

First place:	5 points
Second place:	3 points
Third place:	1 point

Only the first place relay team earns points - 5 points.

In case of a tie, the place points are added together and the points are evenly split.

Volunteer Policies

Volunteer requirements

All families are asked to volunteer for a minimum of 4 volunteer shifts during regular season meets.

Families with swimmers participating in the Cary City Meet are asked to volunteer for those special events.

Sub Policy

If a meet is rained out, all volunteers are needed to work the same shift at the rescheduled meet. Volunteers who cannot attend the rescheduled meet are responsible for finding a sub.

Parents who signed up to volunteer and then find they can no longer work the shift are responsible for finding a sub.

Volunteers are expected to make their best effort at finding a sub for the shift they signed up to work. If an emergency situation arises, or a sub cannot be found, the volunteer coordinators should be contacted.

Meet nights

Volunteers should sign-in on volunteer sheet at meet. SHRC's Volunteer Coordinator will be available to help volunteers sign in, direct volunteers where to go and what to do, answer questions, etc.
