2024 Sharks Volunteer Policy

The Shark Swim Team is organized and run by volunteers, which are the backbone of our team. Parental involvement is one of the keys to a successful season and is a great way to emulate how to work together to achieve a common goal. We really need the support of all of our amazing families. We ask for “all hands on deck” to have a successful season. We will be using Team Snap for the meets and social events, which will be accessed by a link through our website and email notifications. Our volunteer coordinators will be at the meets with the line-up of volunteers, if you have any questions. If you are interested in a more involved role, please feel free to reach out to the team managers to express your interest! As part of your swimmer’s registration, we will be collecting a check for $300 that we will hold onto. If you complete your 12 hours of volunteer work, your check will be returned to you. If 12 hours of volunteer time is unattainable for your family, please reach out to discuss your situation with the Volunteer Coordinator or Team Managers. 2024 Volunteer Policy We ask that we work as a team to get all the jobs fulfilled so we can have a successful meet for our kiddos. If you have a strength or a desire to do a job that best fits you please go for it. We ask to please try new things and get out of your comfort zone so we spread the love to all needed areas. Sometimes things change at the last minute the morning of meets so we may need to switch your volunteer role or ask you to jump in at meets, so flexibility is appreciated! We need: 1. 12 hours minimum to have your volunteer fee returned 2. 2 of your volunteer hours must be done at our Championship meet and/or Award Banquet. This is a big day for everyone so we need all the help we can get. 3.If you are new to a position, please arrive a few minutes early to get the low down. We are happy to help and show you the ropes.
