Volunteers are a critical component to keeping this team operating at a high level. When everyone chips in, the workload is light and we all can share in the success (and fun) of the team.

This year, each family is responsible for about 12 hours over the summer. If your swimmer is competing, then you should plan for 1 volunteer shift (typically 2 hours) during that meet. That includes Finals and/or Prelims (whatever those will look like). We will open up volunteer shift sign ups in May on this website.

If you miss a shift you signed up for, we will give you the opportunity to find a cover or make it up at a future event.

For $300, you can opt out of volunteering.
