Parental Volunteering Requirements and Matrix

 

Westhill District Amatuer Swimming Club is run and officiated by parent volunteers who give of their time freely to manage the business of the club (Committee), train squads, arrange and officiate at swimming events. Every training event or competition your swimmer enters requires support from a team of volunteer parents.  It is thererfore, an expectation of WDASC that parents show their support to the club their swimer is part of.

When committing to your child entering WDASC you are committing to the requirements of the club to ensure there is sufficient volunteer support for the tasks cited above. Please read the Swimming Technical Officials page to raise your awareness of the number of volunteers who are supporting your swimmer in events. 

The Matrix below serves as a guide to what the club requires to function and what you would be expected to be involved with at the various squad levels.
