FUNDRAISING AND VOLUNTEERING COMMITMENT
In keeping with our tradition of hosting some of the biggest and best meets in the nation, the Twin Cities Swim Team and the University of Minnesota Aquatic Center will be hosting meets throughout the year. TWIN uses these meets as fundraisers to continue to develop our financial base and to meet the budget needs of our growing club. Fundraisers help insure that we continue to train in the best facility, with the best staff of coaches possible. Meets are also a great way to meet our on-going obligations to the U of M Recreational Sports Department and our financial goals while keeping dues as affordable to the greatest population possible.
Volunteering and contributing to these meets will be a requirement for any swimmer involved with TWIN during the season in which the meet occurs. The time commitments for each family or swimmer are in keeping with other clubs who host multiple meets per year. Your family will have the choice of a time commitment or a monetary commitment, as well as a food donation or money donation. Sign up for shifts will be announced and posted at least one month before the meet.
The time commitment is generally a minimum of 12 hours per family, per meet, or you may choose to be billed a $200.00 per meet. Masters swimmers will have a minimum requirement of 6 hours or $100.00 per meet. The food donation requirement will be a donation or $25.00 per meet. Family and/or swimmers who do not signup to help by the deadline will have the appropriate monetary amount added to their monthly billing statement.
