“Volunteers, made up of members and their parents or guardians, play a crucial role in the success of the organization and swim team, contributing their time and skills in a variety of essential ways. They assist with team-hosted swim meets, serving as officials, lane timers, and other critical event staff. They contribute to the hospitality and concessions areas, helping to organize and run 10-15 large competitive swim meets each year. Beyond meets, volunteers participate in community events focused on drowning prevention and water safety, making a lasting impact on both the swimmers and the wider community. The board of director volunteer members help guide the program, ensuring alignment with the organization's mission and long-term goals.”
