New Swimmer
Information
Welcome to the Chesapeake Swim Club.
Before a swimmer may participate in CSC swimming activities, all
fees must be paid, the forms available below must be completed,
signed, and returned to our Head Age Group Coach/Administrator,
Kathy Mendez. This packet contains useful information about CSC,
how we operate and the expectations we have of our coaches,
swimmers and their parents.
If at any time you have questions, comments or
concerns please feel free to contact any board member. If you have
questions specifically related to your child’s swimming,
please contact their primary coach.

Getting
Involved
A parent’s most important
obligation is to provide constant encouragement to your child. Additionally, parents are considered
active CSC members and are invited to
attend board meetings and hold office. Providing quality
swim instruction and water time for your
children requires a time commitment,
in addition to the fees paid. All CSC members are
unpaid volunteers who also hold down full time jobs,
limiting their availability for CSC
responsibilities. As a result, their willingness to work together
and rely on one another is paramount
to CSC success. The larger the number of volunteers the less of a burden any individual need
obligate himself or herself to.
Moreover, most of the personnel you observe at meets, while
committed to provide what ever is required,
have senior swimmers and will phase
their participation out over the next few years, as their children
move on to college. There are very
few, if any age group parents positioning themselves to take over. Frankly, the ability of any
volunteer organization to prosper depends directly on the involvement of
members of the
organization.
The overwhelming majority of this
commitment is through the Board of Directors and swim meets. The best reason to volunteer
may very well be that volunteers have
a better understanding of CSC’s internal operations
and the rules under which we function during
a swim meet, have better access to
their children on deck and are closer to the competition. We
are at
meets, why not contribute to the success of the club and have
more access to your child at the same
time?
