PARENT VOLUNTEER POSITIONS
Our goal is to have parents choose their top three choices for volunteer positions during registration. However, there is no guarantee that you will get the desired position. All adult and teen volunteers are required to take the West Houston Aquatic League’s Safety Training for the current year. Currently, WHALe requires Athlete Protection Training. This training must be completed before the beginning of the new season. In order for you to fulfill your requirements and not get your $350 draft charged to your credit card, you must complete this training AND ensure your swimmer attends the minimum of two meets (plus the Mock Meet) AND that you volunteer for one of the jobs listed in the Volunteer Job Description page.
It takes many volunteers working together to run a successful Swim Meet. We do not want to cash the $350 draft. We want you to volunteer! Every family is required to fulfill volunteer jobs for every meet that their child swims in. Please keep in mind that most jobs require you to stay the entire meet, regardless of when your child finishes his/her last heat. Please note that it is your responsibility to keep track of your requirements and ensure they are completed. If for any reason a Swim Meet must be rescheduled, it is still your responsibility to cover your volunteer duties or to find a replacement. Contact one of the Volunteer Coordinators with any issues or questions.
