​AMFY WORK REQUIREMENTS - 2024-2025 Swim Season

AMFY FAMILY HANDBOOK Feel free to print this pdf for all of the information in one spot. 

It takes many, many people to work a swim meet! EVERY family is expected to do their fair share. We are a swim family. 
 
WORKER SHIFTS:
All families must work 5 shifts: This includes a minimum of 1 shift during the Great White Invitational and 1 shift or more during the March 2025 championship season.
 
High school swim families must work 3 shifts: This includes a minimum of 1 shift during the Great White Invitational and 1 shift during the March 2025 championship season. 
 
***If you have a high school and regular season swimmer, you will be required to work 5 shifts. 
 
[**Note: A shift is typically 3-4 hours in length and may involve a variety of jobs/responsibilities including (but not limited to) timing, officiating, set-up/clean-up, 8 & under helper, etc. See descriptions at the end.]
 
Parents may be asked to work more shifts during the season based on need.
 

JOB SIGN-UPs WILL BE UNDER THE EVENTS TAB.

DISCLAIMER - Parents who do not fulfill their work obligation will be ‘auto-assigned’ to jobs as needed. It is the responsibility of the parents to work the ‘auto-assigned’ shift (or find a replacement).

Parents not meeting the work obligation requirement will be assessed an additional $50 fee for each shift not worked, up to $250.

FUNDRAISING REQUIREMENTS:

Funding helps our team get the materials it needs to improve our swimmers. Why? 
  1. To financially support our swimmers and coaches at Championships meets including As, AAs, Zones, and Nationals.
  2. To continually upgrade our pool equipment including lane lines and starting blocks, timing equipment, and computer software and hardware, etc.
  3. To allow tokens of celebration for our swimmers with time drops and more.

 

Each AMFY family (regardless of number of kids) will be required to accumulate 10 AMFY fundraising points during the season (September through February)

​One fundraising point is roughly equivalent to $10 profit for the team

Examples of fundraisers

 

 

 

 

 

  • Eldora Speedway clean-up or concessions stand worker

  • AMFY Swim Rally donations/pledges

  • Meat sticks/Chicken Sales

  • Heat sheet ads/sponsorships at Great White North Invitational

  • Others as announced during the season

  •  

​Families may elect to purchase their points (“Pay-to-play”) in the second half of the year for $10 per point

  •  

Keep an eye on fundraiser announcements that come via our team website, email or Remind group

 

 

 

You will be billed $10 per missed point on the March 2025 invoice if you fail to accumulate enough fundraising points.

 
 

More options will be given as the year progresses.
