LPAC VOLUNTEER Positions – Respond to coordinators by Tuesday, June 15th
Volunteering is Caring and We Need You!
Hello LPAC Swim Families
LPAC is run by volunteers. Cecie Boston and Jill Hoge are the volunteer coordinators for the year. We thank you for your support. Volunteers are the backbone to this wonderful swim program.
In 2021, we will have two volunteer shifts without the presence of the competing team. Currently, training a new CLERK OF THE COURSE, Starters, Computers and Announcers is a priority. The meet cannot run without them. Please consider these jobs. Computers are not listed on this document but we need people to train. Contact us if you are interested.
Each LPAC family with one swimmer must provide at least one adult volunteer to work at least one shift at each meet. Each family with three or more swimmers must provide at least two volunteer shifts at each meet. Occasionally families will need to volunteer for additional shifts at meets. In addition to working volunteer shifts, each LPAC family will be responsible to clean up at one of our meets. This year, we are trying to PRE-ASSIGN volunteer position shifts and not use sign up genius.
Per our bylaws, families who do not fulfill their parent support obligations will not be in good standing with the club, and their swimmers will not be allowed to return to the team the following year. In addition, a monetary fee may be assessed to compensate for the lack of participation.
Current Meet Schedule: We need a parent to volunteer at EVERY meet your child is swimming. (Mark your calendar)
- June 19, 2021 Time Trials
- June 26, 2021 1st Virtual Meet
- July 10, 2021 2nd Virtual Meet
- July 17, 2021 3rd Virtual Meet

- What meets, if any, your child is going to miss
