ATAC needs your help...as a volunteer!
As a USA Swimming Club, ATAC is a non-profit organization supported by dues, fundraising and most importantly volunteers. ATAC has numerous operating expenses: pool rental fees, equipment, coaches salaries, and adminstrative expenses. Dues pay only a portion of overall club expenses. Fundraising, donations and revenues from swim meets hosted or co-hosted by ATAC make up the balance of income needed to run the club.
What does this mean? ATAC needs you to Volunteer!
ATAC needs you to be present and volunteer at swim meets hosted or co-hosted by ATAC. Numerous volunteers are needed to run a successful swim meet. Volunteer positions range from safety marshalls, timers, hospitality, clerk of course, and awards.
ATAC needs you to participate in and suggest new fundraising events for the club.
ATAC needs you to suggest donors (retailers, businesses, etc.) who may be willing to support our team.

Family Participation Plan
ATAC hosts or sponsors 2-4 USA Swimming-sanctioned swim meets throughout the year, along with a number of other events, such as the awards table at Short Course TAGS, the Blue/Black Inter-Squad Meet, the Swim-a-Thon, and various team socials. All of these events require a significant amount of parent and/or swimmer participation to make them successful.
We respectfully request each member of our team to assist in running the team. Each ATAC family is required to volunteer a minimum of four (4) swim meet sessions during the year. There will be an assessment of $50/session at the end of each twelve-month period if this commitment is not met.
