In order to sustain our club and employ coaching excellence, the Gators operate on a budget. About half of our income comes through club fees. The remaining income is earned through fundraisers and the swim meets that we host.

Our parents staff our home meets. Each swimmer's family is required to supply a volunteer for 2 home meet sessions. This includes our short course and long course invitational meets, as well as any conference meet we might host. Each session is typically a 7 am - Noon or Noon - 5 pm shift on the Saturday or Sunday of the meet weekend. We also ask swimmers' families to help with meet set-up during Friday evening's practice and tear-down on Sunday following the conclusion of the meet. We begin seeking parent volunteers approximately 2 week prior to each meet. Look for sign-up lists as each meet approaches.

Our families also help supply our concessions stand and hospitality room. Look for this sign-up list prior to each meet as well.

Available volunteer positions during our home meets include:

Announcer

Chief timer

Timers (12 per session)

Scoreboard and clock operators

Computer operator/Scorer (2 per session)

Officials (certification required)

Hospitality room host

Concessions operators

Clerk of Course

Awards table host

General supervisors

Team sales (sometimes)

No experience is required when volunteering to help at home swim meet. Prior to each meet, we will provide any necessary training and provide all necessary information. Watch for details prior to each meet, and help us make our swim meets great successes!
