Volunteer Opportunities
Swim meets are a full family experience. Strong swimmers are only part of what makes a successful team, we also rely on committed parent volunteers from every family. We’ll ensure you don’t miss your child’s events while helping out. At least one member of each Seahorse family is required to volunteer at every meet, both home and away.
