Volunteering
This sport requires parents to be participants as well as spectators. It takes up to 100 volunteers to run a swim meet! The team's success is directly dependent on the commitment of its members. We understand that some families have extenuating circumstances that make volunteering difficult (e.g. spousal military deployments, single parents, etc.), however, there is a job for everyone. Not all volunteer opportunities need be done at meets. NOTE: Failure to volunteer could result in your child being pulled from future meets.
Most volunteer positions are divided into shifts that last approximately 2 1/2 hours. If you are not a poolside volunteer, there is some flexibility so that you can take a quick break to see your child(ren) swim.
The majority of swim meet positions can be taught in a few minutes, but others (e.g. Officials, Scorers and Head Clerks of Course) require more training. Attendance at clinics, then plenty of on-the-job training will prepare you for these special jobs.
Please contact our Volunteer Coordinator Chrissy Waite if there are questions or a need to make special arrangements [email protected].
