Officiating: The team needs more officials!  Parents can choose which meets at which to officiate based on which meets their swimmers will attend. The team will provide training for all interested parents. If you are interested in becoming an official email, contact us!

The Aspen Swim Club functions as a "doing business as" (dba) operation under the actual registered name of the Aspen Swim Club, a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation. Fees are paid to the Club on a seasonal basis. The Club, in turn, pays the Coaches' expenses, CSI Registration fees, pool time, and other team operating costs.

Other costs associated with the swim team are paid for from other raised funds. These funds are generated through grant requests and fund raisers carried out by swim team members. The funds are used to pay for items such as equipment purchases, social events, awards, etc.
