Incomplete Volunteering
Volunteering points are not awarded when:
• Failure to check in at a meet will result in a family not receiving credit for that volunteer position worked • Failure to work entire shift (i.e. departing early, cannot be found during shift, etc.) • Failure to perform job duties, work, or shift as assigned by Volunteer Coordinator • Failure to properly change a shift We are here to help you meet your volunteering requirements – just ask
Incomplete Volunteering Impacts (CCKST P&P)
• If a family does not fulfill their volunteer requirements at a scheduled meet, their swimmer(s) will not be eligible for the next meet • If family volunteer commitments have not been fulfilled by the last regular swim season meet, then the family’s swimmer(s) will not be able to participate in the Meet of Champions for the current season and will not be eligible to preregister at the following swim season without Board of Directors approval Help your swimmer(s) succeed
