Volunteer

 

Like most clubs, we rely on parent helpers to keep club nights running.  Starting in 2024-25, the volunteer roster will be visible in the Swim Club Connect app.

​

Please sign yourself up on the upcoming meets! Your children will love seeing you helping out and it is a great way to meet other members of our club.

Unclaimed slots will be assigned. We understand that parents of young swimmers will be less able to assist in some roles and we will roster accordingly

New volunteers will be teamed with someone experienced.

​

Each club night we ask for 1-2 volunteers for each lane of the pool, to time keep. This is a simple process of pressing Start and Finish in Swim Club Connect App.​ This is a perfect job for a first time volunteer.
