Long Beach Swim ClubVolunteers Needed
Volunteers are the backbone of any non-proft organization. In order for Beach to operate successfully, we need your help.
Long Beach Swim Club has several fundraising opertunities. The most important of these opportunites are our hosted swim meets. We host 2 meets per year:
The IMX Challenge is our very own creation. It is a fun meet that allows each swimmer to participate in all the strokes and in an individual medley event. Swimmers can either compete in a sprint or endurance competition. The IMX Challenge is a two day meet, usually in November. Medals are awarded for 1st thru 8th place in each division.
Sectionals are part of the Speedo Championship series. The jobs and the direction we need to run this meet is governed by USA Swimming. The meet is long and intense but worth it in the long run. Sectionals is a four and a half day meet, usually in the middle of December.
By hosting meets and working together we can work to make sure the kids have the equipment they need and the water time to train. Also by hosting these meets, we can keep the cost of the program down.
What Do Volunteers Do?
During a non-Beach hosted meet, parent volunteers are needed for timing assignments. Typically each family is assigned a 1 hour timing slot.
During a Beach hosted meet, there are many tasks that must be handled. Jobs range from checking swimmers in for the meet, to posting heat sheets, to writing awards and running the snack bar. At a hosted meet, there are plenty of jobs to chose from... even for a new swim parent.
Please support your swimmer and sign up to help your team!
