REQUIRED TEAM VOLUNTEER HOURS: Quarterly Volunteer Hours & Timing Chair Assignments

In order to keep our monthly dues at a minimum, we require 4 hours of volunteering per Swim Season Quarter: (Q1: Sept 1-Nov 30, Q2: Dec 1-Feb 28, Q3: March 1-May 31, Q4: June 1-August 31) which is 12 hours for the year for our hosted meets and / or to raise $160 during our Fundraiser events. There is a $40 charge per hour ($160 total) if the hours are not complete by the end of each quarter or if $160 is not raised during the Fundraiser events.  Volunteer information and sign ups will be given prior to our hosted swim meet or event (Fundraiser).  More information regarding Fundraising will be given closer to the event date.  Hours do not rollover to the next quarter.  Incomplete Volunteer Hours will still be charged if there is a suspension or cancellation request within the quarter and hours were not completed. 

In addition to the Team Volunteer Hours, we have Timing Chair Assignments at away meets.  Please review Swim Meets 101 for more information.  There is a $30 penalty charge if your swimmer is attending an away meet and you do not sign up for a Timing Chair Assignment time slot.  The $30 will be credited to the family that signs up and completes more then their required sign up.  This assignment is NOT part of the Quarterly Required Team Volunteer Hours.
