Hi team,

Hope everyone has enjoyed the first few days of swim team! There are many people working hard to try to make this an amazing summer for both the kids and parents...in order to make that happen we need lots of parent volunteers for the meets!

After getting feedback from swim team veterans, we have edited the sign-up process a little this year. You will be able to sign up for either 1st or 2nd shift for each position (either first or second half of the meet.) There are also volunteer spots open for helping with meet set-up and take down. Lastly, we have decided to re-open the concession stand for home meets and will be grilling burgers/hotdogs and selling candy, snacks and drinks! Many thanks to Sandra Guggenheim for heading up concessions for us and Jarod Culbertson for heading up the grill! We will also have a King of Pops cart on site where you can purchase popsicles!

We are asking that each family volunteers at least 1 parent for ONE shift each meet. Doing these shorter shifts should allow parents to be able to watch their own kids swim and split up the volunteering more equally. Bear with me as this is my first time organizing this- I am open to any constructive feedback! 

If you go to the 'Meets/Events' tab at the top of Swimtopia you can enter your swimmers availability for the meets and sign up for jobs. I have opened the first away meet and the first home meet for sign-ups. Please feel free to contact me with any volunteer concerns or if you see anything I need to change. 

Coach Dawn is holding a mock meet Tuesday May 28th at the Dunmoor pool at 5pm- if you are new to swim team please try to attend so you can see what each position entails and what may be a good fit for you!

We look forward to a fun season! Swim team is one of my favorite summer memories and I hope it will be for everyone swimming for Dunmoor too!
