Each swim meet requires volunteers, and parents are encouraged to sign up both before the season begins and throughout its duration. The contributions of dedicated parent volunteers are crucial in enhancing the overall experience for families, spectators, and swimmers alike. By participating in two swim meets, volunteers fulfill the required commitment and will receive a $40.00 Volunteer Credit per household at the conclusion of the season, which can be applied to future programs. We greatly appreciate your support and dedication to our swim community.
