Volunteers needed for Our Home Swim Meets - Sign-up located below ***Very Important
Hello —
We need your help volunteering at our home swim meets. We have traditionally had the best parent volunteers and would like to continue that tradition. Your help is essential in making our home meets the most successful in the league. Our first home meet will be on Thursday the 19th of January.
We first need each parent to fill out the Volunteer background form that is required by the school district. It is extremely important that you complete a new volunteer form. We cannot use our volunteers without this process being completed in advance. Please follow the link below and take two minutes to fill out and send.
Second please follow this link and sign up for a position that is needed to be filled. We promise these are the best seats in the house and we will train you. Very easy to do. Shorts and flip flops are the preferred attire. You will get wet but you will also have the best seats in the house.
