Volunteer Instructions
The Edenwilde Swim Team depends on parent volunteers to staff all of the regular dual meets throughout the season.
All parents are expected to volunteer for half of every meet in which their child/children participate. This is the only way we will be able to fill all of the job positions needed to run our meets. Most shifts are 1st half (5:00pm through event #43) and 2nd half (event #44 through the end of the meet).
The sign up for volunteers will be on our website on by 3rd week in May.
THANK YOU for all your support - you help make Edenwilde Swim Team the BEST team around!
Please reach out if you should have any issues.
