Volunteering
Volunteering is the most crucial aspect of what makes swim teams work. Other than our coaches, there are NO paid positions on the Board; therefore, your participation is a requirement for all swim meets. At the beginning of the season, you will provide a $250 guarantee that your family will work approximately 7 shifts on some authorized activity throughout the season.
