Team - Volunteer Positions
It takes a lot to organize all of the events and activities that are a part of the summer swim season. To make the swim team experience enjoyable for all swimmers, we try to include team activities that do not revolve around swimming. We would greatly appreciate help in the following areas.
Social Committee: Group of individuals that would help plan/coordinate the two team events (Season Kick-Off Party and the End of Season Party)
Fun Fridays Committee: Typically, coaches and/or parents plan/organize team bonding experiences that swimmers participate in during normal practice times on Friday mornings. Activities have included silly water games, making tie-dye t-shirts or posters, etc.
Concessions Coordinator: Assists in the purchase and sale of food items at home meets and coordinates staffing at the concession table.
Meets - Volunteer Positions
The specific types of volunteer positions that will need to be filled at each meet will depend on the type and location of meet. Parents are asked to sign-up for at least one position per family at each dual meet. Please sign-up through the "Job Sign-Up" for each meet on the Sign-Up Calendar. Please read the following descriptions to determine which job is best for you.
