Volunteers
All of the work except for coaching is done by parents, making volunteers very important. The Parent Representatives are the parents’ main contacts with the team and league. The Parent Representative is Kathleen Steffe.

Simply put, there cannot be a swim team without parent volunteers. Why? Swim meets are labor intensive with 100% of the labor supplied by parent volunteers.
To succeed everyone must carry the load. Right up front, all parents need to know they are expected to help and will be repeatedly asked. There is only one way anyone can orchestrate 90 events, most with 6 swimmers in multiple heats- with lots of help!
If your child is swimming in a meet, one parent is required to volunteer and work during that meet unless you paid the $250 or fulfill your volunteer requirement through the committee. If you name is not listed on the initial meet assignements, a duty will be assigned to you at the meet. All parents of swimmers must check in with the volunteer coordinator by 7:30 a.m. the morning of the meet to confirm their assignments and get credit for working.
You can check your specific assignments by looking at the individual meet dates. If your children will not be swimming at a meet (out of town, sick, conflict, etc.) please contact Alisa Sattem as soon as possible or by phone at 303 807 4665 to remove yourself from the volunteer schedule.

We have followed these with the intent of splitting the meets into two shifts so that no one as to be on deck all day. We have worked diligently to divide responsibilities as fairly and as evenly as possible all the while keeping in mind, your preferences.
