Storm Volunteering Policy

The Storm feels strongly that the inclusion of meets benefits not only the athletes that we serve, but also strengthens the communities that we all share. Athletes from other communities brings dollars to local companies, draw attention to our cities, and provide a sense of pride to our organization. It is also a significant means to offset costs associated with the sport; by providing funds for equipment, coaches and pool time.  If you choose not to voluteer you will be fined the following amount.

Volunteering Fines:

Fall – $150.00

Spring/summer – $150.00

Winter - $150.00

The Storm typically hosts FOUR large meets, one in the FALL, WINTER, SPRING and SUMMER as well as TWO small meets and a variety of intrasquad meets.  With the size of our team, we only need one position from each family.  

YEAR ROUND FAMILIES:

3 total sessions are required over the course of the Storm swimming year:

One in the fall 

One in the winter

One in the spring-summer

SEASONAL FAMILIES:

One sessions are required for each season you sign up for.

Fall = one season

Winter = one season

Spring/summer = one season

Swimmers who choose to discontinue their membership for any reason during the season, will still be required to fulfill their volunteering requirements, or they will be assessed the volunteering fee.

We will make every effort to post volunteering opportunities six-nine months in advance and have the volunteer sign-ups open near the beginning of the season. The signups will close FOUR days prior to the start of the event.

2023 Volunteer Opportunities.  Jobs will typically open ONE month before the start of the event.

If all spaces fill prior to the volunteering deadline, we ask the families who have not signed up for their required positions, bring in a check.  Those funds will be utilized to pay for concession/hospitality food, awards and other meet associated fees.

If you do not sign up to volunteer for an event or make other arrangements to volunteer, there will be a charge added to your account.  This will need to be paid prior to the next session that you swim with the South Metro Storm Swim Club.

All active members are expected to volunteer. This includes those in our High School Prep/Middle School Groups.
