OHAC Swim and Dive requires a volunteering point system which is necessary for a successful swim season and to effectively conduct meets.

Swim families that are competing in meets will need to complete at least 12 volunteer points for the season. Volunteer jobs will be shared via SignUp Genius and sent out in weekly e-mails. At least half of the 12 volunteer points must be obtained at meets.

Swim families whose children are not competing in meets will need to complete 6 volunteer points for the season. These can be completed at meets, but most likely will be in the form of donations (ie: breakfast, lunch, concession items). Opportunities will be shared via SignUpGenius and sent out in weekly e-mails.

Dive families will be required to one volunteer job during the season All families must commit to volunteering or pay $125 buyout fee.
