Parent Commitment & Volunteering

Wedgewood’s Swim & Dive Team thrives because of the support of our families, and we couldn’t run a meet without you! Volunteering is a great way to get involved and support the team!

We understand that families are juggling work, activities, and busy schedules, but our Swim & Dive meets are truly a team effort. They rely heavily on parent volunteers to run smoothly, and without that support, the meets simply wouldn’t be possible. Your time and presence, no matter how small, make a big difference for the team and the experience we can offer all our swimmers and divers!

Parent Volunteering:

• Each family is expected to volunteer at at least two meets during the season. Meets rely on parent support to run smoothly and on time!

You can learn more about the volunteer roles by visiting the Swim Team page.
