Volunteer
As a member of the Club, it has become an expectation that you will volunteer your time to help make our club better. Most often this volunteering occurs during invitational meets as well as at the Regional and Provincial Championship events.
Included in the Club’s Commitment Fee is a "Volunteer Bond" to ensure that our meets run smoothly. Each family has a yearly volunteering commitment determined annually by the Executive Board.
Throughout the training/competitive season there shall be various opportunities to volunteer to offset the amount. These may vary yearly. Opportunities shall be outlined at the beginning of the season. It is expected that families volunteer at our Club’s Meet. Duties can vary from hospitality room, 50/50 ticket sales, program sales, marshaling, officiating, timing, announcing, results and ribbons, electronics and safety.
As a club, the Barracudas will have mandatory responsibilities at Regionals. These duties will be similar to our own meet’s duties. All parents attending Regionals will be expected to volunteer in some capacity if needed.
Parents are expected to volunteer as timers or officials at other meets to ensure clubs are able to fill all the necessary positions needed to run a Sanctioned Meet. This is a club courtesy common in Summer Swimming and most often reciprocated amongst clubs.
Our Executive Board is volunteer and elected annually at the AGM. Positions range from one to two years. It is a great way to become involved in swimming at a club level and to get to know the coaches, swimmers and other parents. Contact any Executive Member for more information on roles and commitments. The Executive contact list is posted on the website each season.
