Volunteers for Gator Program
Volunteers
The success of our Swim Team depends on you! We need as many volunteers as possible to assist in various positions at each meet. At home meets, opportunities exist in a variety of areas such as set-up, tear-down, timing, concessions, computer input, awards, event heating, as well as officials to run the meet. For away meets, we need people to transport, set-up, and bring home the team tent, as well as timers. Sign-up books are always available and we ask everyone to please help out. This is a combined effort, and we need your help to make each season a success for your child and the team!
Your help would be appreciated for any of the following volunteer positions:
