*POSA's full Volunteer and Fundraising Policy is listed under the Team Policies tab on our website*

Swimming is a labor intensive sport and our team is dependent on parental support for its continued success.

1. How many volunteer hours are expected from each family?

Typically, each family with one swimmer is required to fulfill a minimum of 3 volunteer jobs per season and each family with more than one child is required to fulfill a minimum of 4 volunteer jobs per season. The easiest way to see your child participate in those meets is to volunteer. Volunteers will be needed as meet timers, to help organize the swimmers, to set-up/take-down and work our concession stand, to clean up, and locker room/hallway monitoring.  Volunteer job descriptions for home meets are listed under the Parent Info tab on the website.  Volunteer requirements can only be met by those that are 18 years of age or older.

2. What types of jobs are available?

Families can sign-up to work multiple jobs at a meet as most jobs are scheduled for the entirety of the meet. Sign-ups for meet jobs are done online. For more details about working at our meets see job sign-up sheets for each home event. 

You also can fulfill your volunteer obligation by becoming a meet official for our team. USA Swimming Officials are almost always parents of swimmers. Parents who want to become more involved in the competitions their athletes attend volunteer their time to become trained as professional swimming officials, and to work on deck at swim meets. No previous experience is required! Contact our meet director for more information!

3. Who can volunteer?

Any family member, ages 18 and over can work to earn volunteer hours for your family. Family and friends can help too - as long as they do not have swimmers on the team and are fulfilling their own volunteer hours. We know that younger children like to help out at meets too, but they cannot be credited with volunteer hours for your family. 

*Please note* - While adult volunteers are allowed on deck to volunteer, siblings and other non-swimmers are not permitted on deck at any time! 

4. How does my family receive credit for the hours that we have worked?

If you sign up for job online it will be logged once complete and credited to your account.  The day of the event, you will need to both sign IN and sign OUT to receive full credit.  

5. What if I don't fulfill all the hours of my family's Work Obligation?

If your family does not fulfill all of its required work obligation hours during the swim year, the $400 volunteer fee will be charged to your account.  We need your help... NOT your money.  

If you signed up and know you will not be able to help during the event, please email our meet director as soon as possible so we can fill your position.

6. How do I learn about work opportunities?

Read your email!

Meet signups are always posted online and you will be informed by email when these become available. 

Please remember, it is your responsibility to sign-up for jobs and to do the jobs you signed-up for. We're counting on you!

Should you have any questions regarding these jobs or how to earn your hours, please contact our meet director.
