Volunteering!
(and your booster hours)
An organization is only as good as its’ volunteers and the Williston Sea Lions Swim Team is no exception. We have been fortunate over the years by a large number of our active volunteers who work hard to make sure the swimming experience is positive for our kids. It takes the help of parents and extended family members with all parts of a swim club to make things run smoothly and effectively. Your involvement contributes to the success WSL Swim Team program and your Swimmer.
By becoming a Certified Official, serving on a Committee and signing up to help during events are great ways to make a difference and jump into the fun.
As an organization, we require that all participating families fulfill volunteer hours based on the season you are swimming. Any unfulfilled hours will be charged to the members account at the rate of $25 per hour. Hours will be charged by the full hour; partial hours will not be prorated.
Short Course requirements are as follows; Members are required to fulfill 20 volunteer hours between October 1st and April 30th. Unfulfilled hours will be billed to the Members account before registration for the upcoming Long Course Seasion begins.
Long Course requirements are as follows; Members are required to fulfill 10 volunteer hours between May 1st and August 31st. Unfulfilled hours will be billed to the Members account before registion for the upcoming Short Course Season Opens.
No more than 5 hours per season may be satisfied by providing items for concessions.
**Away meets where timers are required by the hosting team and State Championship meets do not count towards volunteer hour requirements**
