Volunteer Policy

The Deerfield Bluefins Swim Team is a 100% volunteer organization. It takes parental support to operate the team and conduct swim meets. Parent participation in the team's activities is a condition of membership, and each family will be required to accumulate 7 POINTS through volunteering. Each family is required to submit a $100 volunteer security deposit check when registering their swimmer(s). THIS IS NOT AN OPT-OUT FOR THE VOLUNTEER REQUIREMENT. If all your volunteer duties have been completed your check at the end of the season will be shredded.
