9. Parents- we need your help!
PARENT VOLUNTEER GROUP
It is important that the parents of the participants become involved in their child's swim team experience. Both programs have parent volunteer groups. These volunteers will be responsible for assisting at home swim meets as: judges, timers (best seat in the house), starter, clerk of the course, etc. In order for this team to be successful, a strong parent-volunteer group is needed!
