4. Swim Booster Club is a completely volunteer-run organization
Our main goal is to help student athletes enjoy the experience in HS sport and have fun in competition and teamwork
We also help coaches to focus on coaching and teaching, by offering logistic support (e.g., timing, meet set-up/tear down, snack shack,..)
Every swimming parent is a member of the booster club
We are ALWAYS looking for volunteers in planning and execution of activities

Preworn suits from last year can of course be reused this year, but may be a good idea to buy a new one for competition as suits wear out quickly
