    Volunteering (Tonight) and Polar Plunge

    May 15th

    5/15/2025

    Sea Dragon Swimmers are making a big splash in the pool this week! We know the weather hasn’t been great, but thanks to Coach Pranav for keeping us up-to-date with weather notifications via the Swimtopia App.

    Summer Swim is all about Summer Fun! We have TWO exciting events TONIGHT and Saturday!

    Volunteer Shift Sign-ups will open on Thursday, May 15th at 7pm (TONIGHT). In a change from prior years, we are opening volunteer shifts in buckets. Most jobs will be posted tonight including:

    1. All Meet Related Jobs (Timers, Concessions, Dragon Tamers, Etc.)
    2. Season Long Jobs to support meets
    3. Dragon Desserts

    Only a few jobs related to social events will be posted later in the season, so Don't Miss out! Please see the instructions below. Pro-tip: volunteer shifts fill quickly when sign-ups open. Be prepared with job preferences and available dates when sign-ups open. For questions about volunteering, please email the VP of Volunteers ([email protected]).

    Polar Plunge and Pancake Breakfast

    • The Polar Plunge and Pancake Breakfast is this Saturday, May 17th during normal practice time! Brave the chilly first Saturday morning practice followed by warm delicious pancakes.
    • The Polar Plunge Pool returns for those wanting to get extra cold!

    TECH TEAM MEMBERS NEEDED:

    Are you looking for a volunteer position that is tech-focused? The tech team is looking for one additional team member. Tech team members manage the timing software and equipment during time trials and home meets. Pre-season training and onboarding will be provided.

    This role will fulfill the 12-point volunteer requirement but you need to be at time trials for training (from ~6:30am for setup - end of time trials and breakdown). All home meets including setup and tear down from ~4:00pm - end of the meet. If interested, please email Paul East (VP of Meets) at [email protected].
