HAC Volunteer Hours
2023/2024 HAC Volunteer Hours System
Each family is required to earn a minimum number of ‘Hours’ by working as a volunteer in the club. See the chart below to identify the number of Hours required based on the level of swimmer and/or number of swimmers in your household.
The success of our club and meets is highly dependent on this volunteer system, however, it is not the only way you can contribute. If preferred, families can opt out of contributing to the volunteer program by payment of a designated fee.
