We coach swimmers’ proper technique and give them opportunities to compete.

Volunteerism is required for all members.  Participation by parent volunteers is a key aspect of swimming life and fundamental to a successful Aquarians season.  Parents are needed to volunteer in varied positions to run the swim program for our athletes. 

The swim season cannot run without a commitment from all families to this crucial aspect of our Club.  Expect to receive communication from the Club regarding volunteerism throughout the season.
