Volunteering
Volunteering creates a sense of community, and nowhere is that more true than with the Blue Waves. The meets, the suit fittings, the banquets, donut runs on Fun Fridays--heck, even this website!--are all planned and run by parent volunteers. No amount of money you throw at a situation can replace a warm (and hopefully invested and enthusiastic) body. It is a requirement for GBW parents to volunteer in order for their children to participate, but please don't make us--who are parent volunteers ourselves--beg for your participation. Just sign up and help. We promise it's fun... and you'll make friends and memories in the process, just like your swimmers!
Every family is required to volunteer in some capacity. At meets, you can time or provide hospitality, organize ribbons or enter data, or you can even pick up donuts on Fridays! Click HERE for instructions on how to sign up to volunteer at meets, or click HERE to go straight to the signup calendar.
There are also season-long volunteer positions like planning (or assisting with) the end-of-season banquet, tracking and celebrating swimmers' time drops, or coordinating our annual Breakfast of Champ(ion)s! Whatever your time constraints or availability, there's something for EVERYONE to do to help the Blue Waves... so join in the fun! See below or talk to a member of the Admin Team for more information.

So much time and work goes into making a summer swim season successful--long before the season starts!
