Volunteer Positions for Meets
It takes EVERYONE to make a swim meet run smoothly and efficiently. One family member must sign up to volunteer for each meet. Lori Gaillard will assign volunteers for all meets and provide those roles the day prior to the meet.
REMINDER- You are required to volunteer for a minimum of three meets in order for your child to eligible for finals. Ideally, every family would contribute at least one volunteer for each meet your children are attending.
