Remember that not every swimmer becomes a world record holder, but everyone can gain from his or her swimming experience!

Who is a Volunteer?

A volunteer is a person who is willing to help perform any one of the necessary jobs for your club. Your role as a volunteer is important to our sport. You can be actively involved in your child's swimming program and can also be instru­mental in strengthening swimming in the province. With a positive attitude and a willingness to lend a hand, you will also have a great impact on your child's athletic environment, and love of swimming.

There are unlimited opportunities to get involved to help in almost any capacity. The rewards are meeting new people, making new friends and having that great feeling that you have helped one of the organizations in which volunteers are the most important people.

Give volunteering a try. Any contribution you can make will be appreciated. Ask the coach of your team what you can do to help. They will appreciate the offer and put you in touch with appropriate people on your team that will place you in an area where your skills are used best to make the swimming experience joyful for everyone on the team.  This site will be a source for information and updates on contact information for meets that are up coming.
