[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are the volunteer requirements like for swim team? How young are kids joining the team?[/quote]

In the NVSL I think kids as young as 4 can be on the team if they meet that team's requirements (some it is able to swim across the pool, others require you to be able to do a rough free style and/or float or swim on your back, etc).

Summer teams require a lot of parents to make it happen.  It takes about 40 adults to run a meet. There are two meets a week. Also, since there are a lot of paid coaches (unlike some sports) it requires a lot of money.  So fundraising through concession sales, etc, is counted towards volunteer hours. Concessions sold during meets helps pay for the coaches since the fees are only part of it.

Our team pays for pizza parties, weekly breakfast, ice cream socials, and cool stuff for our pep rallies (food trucks, ice cream, food, water balloons, laser tag, bounce houses, etc) this is all accomplished through the volunteers and fund raising.  It always makes me mad when people complain about the volunteering - the  other option is that people pay for the this stuff themselves or it is not done.[/quote]
