Volunteering

Our Friday night swim meets rely on the amazing help of our parent volunteers. We expect parents/carers of swimmers to lend a hand every few weeks. It’s simple, gives you that undeserved sense of greatness, and you can meet other fellow “mandatory volunteers” all while keeping the night running smoothly for our swimmers.

📱 How to Volunteer

All volunteering is managed through the Swim Club Connect Meet Manager app

  1. Open the app and go to the MEETS tab at the bottom
  2. Click on the VOLUNTEER button on the upcoming meet you’ll be attending
    • NOTE: This will only be visible if volunteer roles have been requested by the meet organiser/s
  3. Choose the role you would like to help with.

Please help out and select a role when you can. Every bit of help makes a big difference! Below is a short summary of the roles tyou can assist with:
