Volunteer policy & Officiating



Volunteering

The Cranbrook Triton Swim Club is a non-profit, community based competitive swim club. Our coaches are paid but the general administration of the club is managed by a volunteer Board of Director’s. The Cranbrook Triton Swim Club is a successful club and much of the credit for this goes to the dedication and hard work from Coaching Staff, Board Members and Parent Volunteers. 

Unfortunately, it is common in non-profit organizations that the bulk of volunteer workload falls to a few dedicated members.  The most successful non-profit organizations are able to spread the workload out among the membership in a more equal manner.  

Volunteering is critical to the operation of the club but also shows support for your child, is a great learning opportunity and is fun and rewarding. It is an opportunity to meet other parents and become part of the local swimming community. 

Please ensure you read and understand the Volunteer Policy.  Not sure about the roles? Check out this description page.
