- There is a volunteering point system necessary to run a successful swim team and conduct meets.
  • Swim and dive team families will need to complete at least 12 volunteer
    points for the season. Volunteer jobs will be published on the Active site
    where you register your swimmer or diver. You must sign up on Active and
    check in with a swim or dive parent to get credit for volunteering. If your task
    is not at a meet please email us at swim@ohacpool.org or
    dive@ohacpool.org when the task is complete.
  • All families must commit to volunteering or pay the $125 buyout fee, available on the registration form.
  • Families whose children compete in meets will have to fulfill at least half of their volunteer points at meets.
  • Families whose children are not competing in the swim meets can still volunteer at swim meets but are not required to volunteer in that capacity. (These parents should look for opportunities to donate, volunteer at practices
    throughout the season or the final banquet.)
