Bridgerland Open Swim Meet

The Bridgerland Open meet is on Friday, February 6 and Saturday, February 7th.  There are 2 sessions on Saturday (age based).  Entries are due by January 31 to the Gators email.

Here is the meet information. 


 Remember, Gator parents who volunteer will receive a $10 credit on their meet entry fees (meet entry is $27...volunteering will take it down to $17).  This is a big meet and we need a lot of assistance.  We ask that you at least volunteer for the sessions that your swimmer participates in.

New Volunteer Policies

The Gators Swim Team is a non-profit, parent-run swim team.  Therefore, we must ask that parents of swimmers to volunteer in some capacity to help the team.  Our monthly dues and fundraisers allow us to keep  our dues reasonable.


Questions or concerns can be directed to Hanne Sorensen, Team President or Melissa Niederhauser, Meet Director at our team email address.


DUES
Effective February 1, 2015, monthly dues will increase $5 per month for each swimmer in each group.

When you sign-up for a volunteer position for 2015 (we anticipate that you will fulfill the expectations for the position) your swimmer’s account will be credited $5 each month for your volunteer time.

Due to the greater ongoing time commitment for those holding Board Positions or USA Registered Officials positions, these parents will be credited $5 per month for their volunteer time AND the USA Registration Fee for ONE of their swimmers.  Due to the great need for registered officials with the Gators Swim Team, the team will still continue to pay the USA Registration Fee and other fees for our registered USA officials.

A list of volunteer positions and expectations is in a Google Docs document where you can fill in your name for the position you will work on for 2015.

The document can be found by clicking on this link:

Position sign-ups are first-come, first-served.  There are multiple slots for several positions.  (Please do not remove someone else's name.)  The document is automatically saved as it is edited.  Let us know if there is a problem.  If you have not signed up by February 1, 2015, your dues will increase.  (Only one parent per family needs to sign up.)

You are certainly free to NOT volunteer and just pay the $5/per month dues increase.


MEETS
All parents who have a swimmer (or swimmers) signed-up for a meet that is hosted by the Gators (inter squads, dual meets, Fall Developmental, Spring Ball, and Bridgerland Open) are asked to help at those meets in some way.

Effective February 1, 2015 the meet entry fees for these meets will be increased by $10 per swimmer.  If a parent volunteers at the swim meet (or receives an exception for that meet from the Parent Board) they will receive a $10 credit for each swimmer on their entry fees after the meet.  Volunteers must sign-in at the meet in order to receive their credit.

Only one parent/family member per family is required to volunteer to receive credit for all your swimmers.

Meet volunteer positions will be emailed to those families with swimmers signed up for events in the meet.
