Unlike other
sports, swim meets are run by volunteers (about 35 for each home
meet, 17 for each away meet). We will
need many volunteers to work at time trials on June 13th
and request a member from each family volunteer for at
least five (5) meets during the season. Sign up
using the website tool under the "Events" tab. If you have
any questions, please contact a team rep or Diana Perroots,
Volunteer Coordinator, at dperroots@aol.com.
