Parent Volunteers

We can't do this without you! All Marin Swim League teams are entirely run by parent volunteers.

  • LVST families are required to fill 6 LVST volunteer jobs during the season, and 1 Champs job (if registered for the meet) to ensure our swimmers have a successful swim season.

  • Families will sign up for 6 volunteer jobs by the deadline. After the deadline, jobs will be assigned. 

  • If a family can't fulfill a volunteer job, it is the family's responsibility to find a replacement.

  • Families that fail to show for volunteer assignments will be charged a $150 no-show fee.

  • Families that are unable to fulfill 3 volunteer jobs by mid May will be charged $425 of the Volunteer Opt-Out fee of $850.

  • Similarly, families that fail to fulfill the remainder of their volunteer shifts by the end of the season they will be charged $425.

  • Families are encouraged to try to sign up for the same job through the season (setup, cleanup, snack bar, timer, etc.).

FAQs

  • How do I sign up for my 6 jobs? Sign up opens in late March. Families will be able to sign up by signing into www.lvst.org. Under “Events & Competition” on the left sidebar select Team Events. Select “job signup” for the upcoming event you want to volunteer at. View detailed steps here.

  • Where do I find the job descriptions? Go here.

  • I’ve forgotten what I signed up for. How do I get that information? View detailed steps here.

  • How do I get credit for the volunteer job I signed up for? Check in at the volunteer desk for the event you signed up for and get your volunteer badge. The board member at check in will provide further instructions on when and where to report. 

  • What happens if I don’t show? Or, I’m significantly late? Missing work assignments and even being late for swim meets seriously and negatively impacts the team. A strict “Late Arrival/No Show” penalty of $150 will be assessed.
