The Golden Marlins Swim Team runs on parent power. The Golden Marlins Swim Team Board consists of parent volunteers, and volunteers are needed year round to keep the swim team going. However, the demand for volunteers is greatest in the summer season, to organize and run swim meets.

Unlike soccer, baseball, basketball, or many of the other sports that our kids often participate in, swimming requires a large number of volunteers to run a meet. Whether it is timers, concessions, ribbons, heating, judging, set up, or tear down, there are a lot of jobs to go around. Every summer, we will need to fill over 400 volunteer positions. A home meet alone takes 70 people to run.

The volunteer requirement for the 2010 summer swim season is:

5 volunteer sessions during regular season meets or 1 season-long assignment,

Each family is required to submit a $150 volunteer deposit check for the summer season.
· After fulfilling all volunteer sessions, we will destroy the volunteer deposit check.
· We will ask you to sign in every time you volunteer, so we can keep track of your volunteer sessions.
· We will notify you before the end of the season, if it does not look like you will be fulfilling your volunteer requirement and work with you to find volunteer sessions for you. (We will not just suddenly cash your check)
· If, however, you prefer us to cash your check, rather than fulfilling your volunteer sessions, please let us know. Write: “Please cash my volunteer deposit” on the registration form.

The following volunteer position need to be filled for the summer 2010 swim season:

A couple notes on volunteer sign-up:
The board reserves the right to assign/fill certain key volunteer positions (e.g. Head Official) or positions which require work in advance of the Summer Season (e.g. Bagel Coordinator and many of the state meet jobs) in advance of the registration meeting. All other positions are offered up for sign-up on a first come/first serve basis beginning at the registration meeting until all positions are filled.
