Volunteers

Parent volunteer job and committee assignments are required for team membership. There are several categories of jobs, (see About Volunteer Jobs). Some are "table jobs", such as computer input and ribbon stickers. Some are "deck jobs" such as timers, lane writers, runners, and beverage servers. EACH FAMILY IS REQUIRED TO ASSIST IN SOME WAY AT MEETS. Generally, you will do the same job all season with each family working four or five times. You may be asked to perform a different job during Relay Finals and League Finals. One family member will also be required to assist on a committee job apart from the swim meet (see About Volunteer Committees).

For families which prefer it, you may donate money to the team in lieu of a job and/or committee assignments. If you're interested in this option, please check the appropriate box on the registration form.

If you cannot attend a meet that you are scheduled to work, please call one of the other people on your team and arrange for an alternate, and please call your team leader to let them know you will be absent and the name of the alternate. This is critical for our meets to run smoothly.

Every effort is made to assign workers for Relay Finals and League Finals from the parents of swimmers participating in that event. In some cases, parents may be requested to assist in those meets even if their swimmers are not participating. In years when the Dolphins are running Relays or Finals, we frequently need more people than those with participating swimmers.
