Parental Participation Information

Coolmine SC is supported by a voluntary management committee.  We also rely on the contribution of all members to ensure the continued success of our club.  It is a condition of your child’s membership that a parent/ carer contributes volunteer hours throughout the season.

The following are mandadory requirements for all parents/carers:

1. Parent on Duty - Parents/carers will be required to fill this duty on a regular basis.  A monthly roster is issued to parents/carers.  For further information please refer to the club website.
2. Regional and National Competition Duty - Every club must supply officials; this is based on the number of entries from that club. If you enter your child in these competitions, you will be included on the roster to assist with these duties. These duties generally involve timekeeping, turn/stroke judge or steward/supervision.
3. Club Competition/ Fundraising Duty – As a club we run a number of events throughout the season, these are important fundraising events, with the proceeds going towards our day to day running costs. It is expected that all parents of participating athletes will assist in the running of these e.g. Club gala in March, sponsored swim.
4. Training – as your child progresses through the club programme you will be expected to complete training to support the volunteer roles required within the club.  Training is detailed below:
