As all of you know, the success that we experience is a direct result of not only our swimmers, but also our parents.  The team depends on the cooperation and participation of all parents in staging a meet.  Putting together a swim meet is a team effort, and we need everyone’s help.  Here is a list of the volunteer positions that must be filled in order to hold a swim meet.
