Our team's success hinges on the incredible support of our parent volunteers. Swim meets, in particular, require a significant number of dedicated individuals to ensure they run smoothly and efficiently. We believe that volunteering is a fantastic way to contribute to our swimmers' experiences, build lasting friendships, and strengthen our team community.

To ensure fairness and shared responsibility, each family with a registered swimmer is required to volunteer at a minimum of two (2) swim meets during the regular season.

Volunteer Opportunities

• Timer: Operate a stopwatch and/or electronic timing system and record times.
• Announcer: Call swimmers to their events and make essential meet announcements.
