Volunteer
Volunteers keep our team afloat
The Clear Lake Forest Swim team is a volunteer organization and to successfully run a swim meet, parent participation is required. Each Family is required to work at least 5 shifts during the season meets. There are over 50 jobs that need to filled for each home meet. Some positions require training but most do not. Signing up and fulfilling your volunteer obligation is essential for the continued viability of the FINS. In the event that you are unable to meet your commitment, you are responsible to arrange for a suitable substitute and you must notify the Volunteer Coordinator of this change.
