Volunteering
Our team is run solely on the power of our volunteers, so we ask that each family be a big part of making it a success by volunteering throughout the season. Volunteers are needed to help ensure a safe, efficient and fun experience for all swimmers, families and visitors.
For the 2026 season, the volunteer requirement for the regular season is two shifts per family if your swimmer is swimming.
Time Trials, Invitational and Divisional meets require ALL participating families to volunteer for at least one shift. They do NOT count towards your volunteer points requirement for the season.
