Volunteer Hours
Youth sports cannot exist without the support of their participants’ families! Our team relies on volunteer hours to help run meets, organize team activities, and build the sport in our community.
Each swim group has a minimum number of volunteer hours each family should complete each year. Please see below for group hours and opportunities. Hours accrue monthly from the first day of membership.
Note: Each family will be charged $30 for every unfulfilled volunteer hour at the end of the year.
Feel free to reach out to the volunteer coordinator with questions!
Gold 1 - 36 hours per year/3 hours per month average

Blue 1 & 2 - 24 hours per year/2 hours per month
Gold 3 and Junior Otters - 18 hours per year/1.5 hours per month
