VOLUNTEERING GENERAL INFORMATION:

  CSC has a 20 hour family volunteering commitment and swim meets are classified as one of the various volunteering opportunities that count towards earning these volunteer hours. Volunteering is a great way to help the Team and get involved in your child’s activity.  We do charge $200 for families that have not met the 20 hour minimum.  As long as you sign up for timing at home and away meets, paired with volunteering at our home meet there is no reason for these hours not to be met. 

FUNDRAISING

Fundraising is an essential part of keeping the cost of our dues lower than anywhere else in the Treasure Valley.  Fundraisers go directly back into the team's general fund.  

VOLUNTEERING at TEAM FUNDRAISERS   

Our two biggest fundraisers each year are our two home swim meets.  We rely on our families to make those meets a success. As it is all volunteer based. We generally host a meet in the Winter and a meet in the Spring.

As a swim team, our main team fundraisers involve hosting swim meets.  Since the College of Idaho is our home, we help to host their College Meets.   In order to make these a success, we need participation from every family.

The annual meets that CSC hosts are:

  • College of Idaho Swim Team: their season is September through to March each year. CSC hosts their scheduled meets for them. These are one day meets with up to 3 volunteer hour credits. ( NOT A FUNDRAISER FOR CSC)

  • Home Swim Meets: CSC hosts up to 2 USA Swimming sanctioned swim meets each year.  Volunteering at the Swim Meets is an easy way to earn volunteer hours.   There are an array of jobs that you can sign up for.  All of which will give you credit toward your volunteer hours.

  • We do an Annual Swimmania, to raise funds for the club.  You can sponsor a swimmer per lap or a flate rate.  This event is a lot of fun.  This is also a great way to volunteer, as we need lap counters.

  • Additionally we do a couple smaller fundraisers, which we always send emails out to ensure you are up to date.
