Swim & DiveVolunteer

Swim and Dive meets are run 100% on volunteers and we rely heavily on our families to help run each meet. Please consider it a fun way to get involved and make new friends on the deck! We have many volunteer opportunities. No experience is required unless specifically identified. How many officials and what positions are needed depends on the nature of the meet. Keep in mind that we will also need help running the Cuda Cafe.
