2012 Parent Volunteer List-
Swimming is a sport that needs a great deal of parent involvement, requiring as many as sixty parent volunteers to staff each home meet. Coaches are the only paid employees of the swim team, every other worker is freely giving of their time to support the team. Therefore, it is required that each family have at least one parent who serves in some volunteer position for each meet. No experience is necessary for most of these roles, seasoned parents we will help walk you through the process.
Below are descriptions for some of the many volunteer position (note that several do require participation in a training session). If each person contributes a small amount of work then no one individual is unfairly left with a major time commitment and we and our children all enjoy this activity much more.
