Committees
Many hands make light work which is why every family is required to serve on a committee from the list below. Committee requirements apply year-round including during a swimmer’s hiatus from the team, with the exception of the swimmer leaving the team entirely (not planning to return).
Families that have had an athlete participate with BSC for at least 4 seasons or 3 full years will be strongly encouraged to head a committee or become an official.
Families will be encouraged to choose a committee that they would like to be part of at the beginning of each annual registration. If a choice is not made the board will assign you to a committee.This family member must be an adult.
When you join a committee, you are asked to commit to two years.
