The Waves swim club is run by a large base of volunteers.It takes a tremendous amount of preparation and organization to service over 200 swimmers and their families.The Waves offer parents a variety of ways to volunteer their time. We encourage all Waves families to be involved.
Obligations for volunteering vary from the Fall/Winter and Spring/Summer seasons. All families are expected to contribute. Information regarding volunteer obligations will be distributed early in each season.
