Our meets are completely run by volunteers—every timer, official, announcer, and hospitality helper you see on deck is another parent or family member like you. We host only three meets a year, and those are our biggest fundraisers. Hosting successful meets helps keep dues low, gives our swimmers the chance to compete locally, and builds the strong community that makes Coast special. Getting involved is easy, and most positions don’t require experience. You can help with setup or cleanup, hospitality, passing out drinks to deck volunteers, organizing ribbons and awards, or timing. Hospitality contributions are a big part of what makes our meets special—they’re our way of saying thank you to those who travel to swim with us and to everyone who helps make the meet happen. Volunteering and hospitality are part of our Coast membership because without timers and officials, we can’t host meets, and without hospitality donations, those costs would have to come out of our dues.
