AMFY WORK REQUIREMENTS - 2023-2024 Swim Season
AMFY FAMILY HANDBOOK Feel free to print this pdf for all of the information in one spot.
It takes many, many people to work a swim meet! EVERY family is expected to do their fair share. We are a swim family.
SHIFTS:
All families must work 5 shifts: This includes a minimum of 1 shift during the Great White Invitational and 1 shift or more during the championship season the swimmer qualifies for.
High school swim families must work 3 shifts: This includes a minimum of 1 shift during the Great White Invitational and 1 shift during the championship season the swimmer qualifies for.
***If you have a high school and regular season swimmer, you will be required to work 5 shifts.
[**Note: A shift is typically 3-4 hours in length and may involve a variety of jobs/responsibilities including (but not limited to) timing, officiating, set-up/clean-up, 8 & under helper, etc. See descriptions at the end.]
Parents may be asked to work more shifts during the season based on need.
JOB SIGN-UPs WILL BE UNDER THE EVENTS TAB.
DISCLAIMER - Parents who do not fulfill their work obligation will be ‘auto-assigned’ to jobs as needed. It is the responsibility of the parents to work the ‘auto-assigned’ shift (or find a replacement).
Parents not meeting the work obligation requirement will be assessed an additional $50 fee for each shift not worked, up to $250.
FUNDRAISING REQUIREMENTS:
Funding helps our team get the materials it needs to improve our swimmers. Why?
- To financially support our swimmers and coaches at Championships meets including As, AAs, Zones, and Nationals.
- To continually upgrade our pool equipment including lane lines and starting blocks, timing equipment, and computer software and hardware, etc.
- To allow tokens of celebration for our swimmers with time drops and more.
This 2023-2024 year, funds will help go towards a new timing console and diving blocks.
