Volunteer Policy
One of the best things about summer swimming is being part of a great community and family environment. Summer swimming is very much a family experience.
As with other sports, you will find that the effort you put in directly influences the experience your family will have. Running a swim club and swim meets takes an extraordinary amount of volunteer support. We really rely on everyone’s help.
I.Volunteer Hours
Each family will volunteer hours based on the registration group of their child(ren). For families with swimmers in more than of the groups below, you only need to complete the one category with the highest number of hours.
II.Volunteer Cheque
A Personal cheque in the amount listed for your child’s category is due to the club NO LATER THAN Opening Night. In almost all cases we return the cheque at Awards Night at the end of the season as families easily contribute the required number of hours. The memo line of the cheque will contain the swimmer’s name (as registered on their Active account) and be dated for August 1, of that year. Failure to provide this cheque will result in temporary suspension of your child membership. Failure to complete volunteer hours by Awards Night will be result in a prorated amount being charged at $25 per unfulfilled hour to the credit card on file or a full deposit of your volunteer cheque where no hours were completed.
All families will provide the hours and cheques for the amounts allocated below.

We offer a multitude of opportunities to easily make up the requirements. Job sign up will be emailed regularly.
***Please note that we would prefer your volunteer contribution to our club rather than your money and we make every effort to provide opportunities throughout the season.
Please email volunteers@WRASA.ca with any questions.
