Volunteer session requests are processed online on our SportsEngine website. Completed volunteer sessions are logged in SportsEngine by the Volunteer Chair of the Parent Advisory Board and Team Administrator.

Volunteers are an integral part of the success of our swim team not only at our meets but at our team events as well. It takes well over 100-200 volunteer credits to successfully run a 4-session CAA hosted swim meet! Team events are opportunities for swimmers and their families to get to know one another, to enjoy activities outside of swimming, and to celebrate the success of all our swimmers.
