He comes to us from Nebraska, where he was coaching high school aged A and B swimmers. He will be...

Making CAST a better place for all to enjoy Please take the time to read through this....... Volunteering – We need your help Most of the time our volunteer requirements are very low.

For championship meets, we may have other obligations as well, things like deck marshall or head timer. For CAST-hosted meetsthe number of volunteer hours skyrockets to hundreds of hours needed.
