Service Hours
SSS expects all families to help at home meets, away meets, and team events. The service hour commitment for each family can be found in the current Team Policy document located on the Dues & Fees page.
Submitting Service Hours
Service hours are tracked and accounted through statements each trimester that verify the number of hours a family has submitted toward their obligation. When an individual completes service hours for the team they are required to submit their own hours. Failure to submit your hours may result in a bill for unmet service hours. SSS recommends that families keep track of their own submitted hours and reconcile their records with statements each trimester.
When you work a meet, fundraiser, or attend a board meeting, fill out the service hours form located on the Service Hour page.
Failure to fill out additional service hour forms may result in you being billed for unmet hours.
When swimmers register in September for the upcoming swim year, all unmet service hours from the previous year must be completed or paid before a swimmer can participate.
Become a Swim Meet Official!
A great way to meet your team service hours and to learn about the sport of swimming is to become a stroke and turn judge. Many meets require teams to provide one judge for every 15 swimmers in the meet – or the team cannot score. Please, please, please consider becoming a stroke and turn judge.
For information on becoming a meet official, please visit the Pacific Swimming webpage for officials, and check out the How to Become an Officialdocument
