VOLUNTEER POLICY

The North Irvine Swim Team is a 100% volunteer organization. It takes parental support to operate the team and conduct swim meets. Parent participation in the team's activities is a condition of membership, and each family will be required to accumulate 7 POINTS (1 swimmer), 8 POINTS (2 swimmers), 9 POINTS (3 swimmers).

Families will be notified once our volunteer sign up is open for registration and then you may sign up for the jobs and meets you would prefer to work. Each job has a point value. Typically a job will equal one-two points and will last approximately 2.5 hours, or half of a swim meet, and are easy and fun to do. We will do everything we can to honor your volunteer requests, however, during the season, we may occasionally need to ask you to change meets and/or job assignments. Families who do not sign up prior to season start will be assigned jobs by the Volunteer Coordinator.

Of course we recognize that plans change. If you find that you cannot work a meet that you have agreed to work, it is your responsibility to find a replacement. Your replacement will receive credit for working the shift, and you will be asked to work another shift at another meet. As a result, trading shifts is the best practice. Whatever you work out, it is imperative that you inform the Volunteer Coordinator of your plans as soon as you are aware.

NO SHOWS FOR VOLUNTEERING WILL BE AN AUTOMATIC CHARGE TO YOUR ACCOUNT FOR $50. PLEASE CONTACT YOUR COORDINATOR 24 HR PRIOR TO EVENT IF YOU CANNOT GET COVERAGE.
