CHARGER PARENTS ROCK THE HOUSE!

Swim team representatives would like to thank parent volunteers for all you do to make swim team at CSC possible. Swim meets are organized and run by volunteers, and we simply could not function without your support. Both the host pool and visiting teams contribute volunteers and officials to staff each and every meet. If your child is swimming, at least one member of your family is expected to volunteer in some capacity. 

Families are required to provide volunteer support to earn a minimum of four (4) event credits. There will be a $175 fee for not completing this requirement. Volunteering is a great way to meet other Charger families and get to know the swimmers. Job signup for meets and social events can be located in the "Events" tab on the Home page. If you have questions, please contact a team representative.
