Volunteer Shifts: It takes up to 60 parents to run a home/hosted away meet, we Need YOU!

Volunteer shifts will be managed through our website.

Parents are required to work the following during the swim season:

• 4-5 shifts (exact amount determined after final family count during registration) at meets and/or team events (e.g., bbq, family fun night, swim-a-thon, etc.)
• One shift at the Championship Meet (this is in addition to the 4-5 shifts during the season)

The shifts will open on April 27th at 7pm. Championship Meet jobs will be added to the website a couple of weeks before the event, and you will be asked to sign-up at that time.  If your child is not swimming at Champs, you do not have to volunteer.

The meet job sheets will be emailed & posted before each meet. Please check to see what you signed up for. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO FIND A REPLACEMENT IF YOU CAN’T DO YOUR SHIFT!

To manage your volunteer shifts, sign-in to the system and select Events, click on the "Sign up for a Job" button for the event you want. Click on any open job. This feature will be open for Parent Volunteers to sign in and manage their Volunteer hours.

Family Work Excuse Fee-PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

The swim team, and especially swim meets can not run without the great work and support of our parents. To ensure that we always have the work force necessary to successfully run a meet, we have increased the work excuse fee. No longer a per-swimmer charge, will require $450 work excuse fee per family.  This fee is charged to families that elect not to work the 4-5 shifts and the one shift at Champs.  We collect this fee from every registered family, and families that fulfill their volunteer job points for the season will not have their check cashed or the money will be refunded if paid in cash.

Mandatory Meet Sign-up:

• Swimmers, or their parents for them, are required to officially enter a meet.  To declare your entrance or absence, please log in to the website, click on EVENTS, scroll to the event you need to sign in or out of, and click on "ATTEND THIS EVENT" button.  Please log any absences as far ahead as possible.
• Any swimmer who fails to declare entrance or absence will not be scheduled for any events in that meet.
• If there are more than 130 swimmers signed up to swim in a meet, some swimmers will be asked not to swim.  (League rules state that a team can only have 130 swimmers in a meet.)  The decision as to who will not be able to swim will be made by the coaches.  Note: We keep our registration at 140 or less to ensure that this never happens to our team!
• For EMERGENCY notification of absence on the day of meet, you can leave a message at (925) 640-5069. This number should only be used when a swimmer must cancel the day of a meet due to illness or family emergency. This phone is to be used for emergency calls ONLY.
