VOLUNTEER REQUIREMENTS
The swim team is run by a large group of volunteers. All families are required to volunteer at 3 meets during the swim season. Parents of 8 and under children will be required to work at least one shift as Team Parent during the summer season. We are lucky to have great volunteers in our community!
