Good afternoon, Bentwinds swim families! 

I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself and share a little about my responsibilities throughout the season and why you will be hearing from me fairly often. My name is Kelli Stefanacci and I am your volunteer coordinator for this swim season. 

As you have heard, our swim meets are operated almost entirely by volunteers.  I will be monitoring the positions needed from week to week and who has signed up in order to ensure they run as smoothly and effectively as possible. The list of positions has been included in all of the information on swim team, but if you need another copy, please let me know. 

Starting with the mock meet, we will need many helping hands to gather swimmers, make announcements, sell concessions, and the list goes on! I will be around the pool during most practice times this week if you have questions, need clarification, or want to chat in person! 

All of the required positions have been loaded into Swimtopia and they will go live tomorrow morning at 8:00am.  At that time, we welcome you to access your account, view the meet schedule and would love if you had time to sign up in advance for any shifts that you are interested in throughout the season. 

It is requested that each family fulfill three volunteer positions throughout the swim season. Swimtopia will keep track of your "points" accumulated after serving in these roles and you need to have 3 points in total. Please keep in mind that food donations for concessions are worth 0.5 point, while all other positions are worth 1.0 point. Each family has a max of two food donations per season.

I apologize for the lengthy email to start the season, but wanted to try and provide a few details as we head to the pool today!  I appreciate all of your time in advance and truly just want the best for the swimmers, coaches and club this summer! 

Thanks again,

Kelli
