Parent Volunteering/Service Credits
 
As a parent-run, non-profit organization, we host swim meets and other functions throughout the year. We cannot do so without the help of all the families. Fleet earns revenue from swim meets which help subsidize all our monthly dues. Age Group Gold competitive swim team families and up are required to help. Below is the breakdown by group.
 
Requirements:
Group Credits Group Credits
Senior Black 7 Age Group Gold 4
Senior Red 6 Age Group Silver 0
Junior Black 7 Age Group Bronze 0
Junior Red 6 Hybrid (Swim & Water Polo) 4
Age Group Black 7 Home School 0
Age Group Red 7 Non-Competitive 0
Age Group White 5 Water Polo 0
  • 1 credit equals one session. A session can range from 3-5 hours. There will be some opportunities outside of swim meets to earn credits. 
  • For Age Group Gold and White families, 1 credit must be served during the summer months (June and July) to ensure there are enough volunteers to help with our largest meets. For Age Group Red and higher families, 2 credits must be served during the summer months (June and July).
  • Credits can be earned at any time during the year. (September 1-August 31).
  • Credits are based on the highest level swimmer in the family.
    • For example, you have an Age Group White and Senior Black swimmer, your family is required to work 7 sessions.
  • Any unworked sessions will be charged at a rate of $150 per credit at the end of August 2025.
    • You must pay for this fine when registering for the 2025-2026 season.
    • For example, if you have 4 unworked credits, you will be billed $600. 
  • If your swimmer advances to another group during the year, your credits will remain the same as your swimmer’s original group.
  • Credits will be prorated and rounded to the nearest 0.5 for new swimmers. For instance, if you are an Age Group Gold family that joins in March, you will have 2 credits.
    • 4 credits ÷ 12 months = 0.333 credits per month
    • 0.333 x 6 months remaining in the season [March - August] = 2 credits
