VOLUNTEERS

The success of our swimmers depends a great deal on the parent volunteers in our club.
 
AT MEETS
At every development meet and weekend meet parents from all clubs are required to volunteer for deck duties.  This includes the various officials on deck plus the timers and recorders.  WRASA is one of the larger clubs in the Fraser South region and as such, is required to provide sufficient numbers of parent volunteers relative to the number of swimmers we have.  All families in the club are expected to volunteer for deck duties at meets in which they have a swimmer participating.
 
AT OUR MEET
There are more than 800 volunteer hours required to operate the Pentathlon.  This excludes many of the coordinator positions that work prior to the meet, including the off-season.  All the parents in the club are very busy during the swim season – its the nature of the compressed competitive swim season – however we ask that willing volunteers step forward to take some of the key coordination roles required.

ADMINISTRATION OF THE CLUB
The summer swim season is very busy and for those parents who wish to get involved in the club but may not wish to undertake specific tasks that require added work during an already busy time there are a number of crucial volunteer jobs that involve work in the off-season.  There are also other administrative type duties that are spread out over the summer season.  The club welcomes all the volunteer assistance that is offered.  There is lots of work to be done, year round, to ensure that our swimmers experience success in the water and have fun.

NOTE: When players reach 16 years of age, they can provide the help and the family will receive the Participation Credit.  This Club encourages participation of older players in giving back to the Club and in being role models for the younger players. Volunteering is recognized as a valuable activity for students, both for school credit and for scholarship purposes. We have had current and former players coach and assistant coach in the Spring League with great success
