Volunteers
are the KEY to success of our swim team. Unlike other youth sports, where
generally a handful of people can run the team, a swim program simply can
not be run without parental help and participation, and lots of it. That's
why every Gator family is REQUIRED to volunteer a minimum of 10 hours of
time per child over the course of the season. There are many ways in which
this commitment may be met.First, ALL families, with the exception of both parents at work or out of town, must help out at meets. It takes more than 100 individuals to set up, clean up, check in, officiate, line up kids, work snack bar, team store, time, write ribbons and enter and post results for a typical meet. Additionally, there are numerous other "behind the scenes" jobs, including both meet and non-meet activities that may match your interest or schedule, including pool set-up and take down, arranging for social activities, Swim-a-Thon, fund raising and other non-swimming team activities.
