Volunteer Position Descriptions

Volunteer Swim Team Jobs

When you registered your swimmer for the team, you also agreed to volunteer for at least 5 meets during the season. Time trials is a good opportunity to get familiar with the job, in our own environment, with our own team. There will be many people around to help if you have questions or concerns. Volunteer participation is necessary to run Time Trials and meets.
