New Swimmer Information
Welcome to the Chesapeake Swim Club. Before a swimmer
may participate in CSC swimming activities, all fees must be paid,
the forms available below must be completed, signed, and returned
to our Head Age Group Coach/Administrator, Kathy Mendez. This
packet contains useful information about CSC, how we operate and
the expectations we have of our coaches, swimmers and their
parents.
If at
any time you have questions, comments or concerns please feel free
to contact any board member. If you have questions specifically
related to your child’s swimming, please contact their
primary coach.
See you at the pool!
Getting Involved
A parent’s most important obligation is to
provide constant encouragement to your
child. Additionally, parents are considered active CSC
members and are invited to attend
board meetings and hold office. Providing quality swim instruction and water time for your children
requires a time commitment, in
addition to the fees paid. All CSC members are unpaid
volunteers who also hold down full time jobs, limiting their
availability for CSC responsibilities.
As a result, their willingness to work together and rely on one another is paramount to CSC success.
The larger the number of volunteers
the less of a burden any individual need obligate himself or
herself to. Moreover, most of the personnel
you observe at meets, while committed
to provide what ever is required, have senior swimmers and
will phase their participation out
over the next few years, as their children move on to college. There are very few, if any age group
parents positioning themselves to take
over. Frankly, the ability of any volunteer organization
to prosper depends
directly on the involvement of members of the
organization.
The overwhelming majority of this commitment is
through the Board of Directors and
swim meets. The best reason to volunteer may very well be
that volunteers have a better understanding
of CSC’s internal operations and
the rules under which we function during a swim meet, have
better access to their children on
deck and are closer to the competition. We are
at meets,
why not contribute to the
success of the club and have more access to your child at the same
time?
