Volunteering
It takes a village to run a swim meet!!
Parents are expected to volunteer at least once each season, for each child participating on the team. Below is the list of jobs available for volunteering during a meet. We’ll be using Swimtopia for signing up to volunteer.
In addition to the below, we’re looking for a couple parents who are willing to help coordinate our social events: Pasta Party, Ice Cream Social, End of Season Banquet.
