Summer swim teams are run by volunteers! We ask that each family provides one adult per meet to volunteer in some capacity. Don't be shy! There is something you can help out with, as there are so many jobs and each is critical for the team and for successful meets. Plus, (letting you in on a secret) when you volunteer you're closer to the action... and your swimmer/s - you'll have the best "seat in the house!"

The following is a brief description of the general volunteer positions. If this is your first time volunteering for a specific role, someone will go over the basics with you before your shift. Most of these positions are very easy and you will get the hang of them quickly. If you have any questions or concerns about volunteering, please contact one of the team leads.
