6) Volunteering
ALL parents are required to volunteer for jobs at meets during the swim season. This is non-negotiable, as our swim team meets are run 100% by volunteers. Each parent is expected to help by doing a minimum of 5-6 jobs over the season. Sign-ups for jobs are available. An email will be sent to all registered families with info. Swim meets are fun and run smoothly when we have enough volunteers!
Unless otherwise specified in the job sign-up, most jobs are scheduled for one half of a meet (first or second half). A few jobs (ex: Announcer, Meet Referee, and Volunteer Coordinator) are for the entire meet and not broken into first and second half.
