10 Commandments for Swim Parents by Rose Snyder

Parent Volunteer Commitment

Parents must work at the meet in which their child/children swims. The following is a brief description of each of the key jobs that must be done in order for the Swim team to be a success and to make each season a fun, rewarding experience for each swimmer. More detailed job descriptions of many of the positions are available from the Parent Coordinator for your review.

There are usually two shifts at a home meet and three or four shifts per day at Championships. Some of the jobs will be for the duration of the meet, but most parents will only be required to work one shift at home meets and two on each day of the Championship Meet. You will be assigned a committee to work on (as per your request) and receive a schedule from that committee head for the season. You are expected to find a replacement for that position if you cannot be present!
