Manor Woods Swim Club

It takes a large number of volunteers to make each meet, and the season as a whole, run smoothly.  Each family who registers a swimmer is expected to volunteer at a minimum of three meets throughout the season and to serve on one committee.

Contact the chairperson of the committee of interest to volunteer.  Parents who do not volunteer to serve on a committee will be contacted by the chairperson of a committee that is understaffed.
