FAST Frogs Volunteer Information
Welcome to the 2025 FAST Frogs swim season!
We will have 7 meets, including CHAMPS. FAST Frogs is run
entirely by parent volunteers, and we need approximately 100
volunteers per meet to ensure everything runs smoothly.
Volunteer Requirement
- At least one parent per family must volunteer at every meet in which their child swims.
- Volunteer sign-up will be done via the FAST Frogs website.
- When signing up your child for a meet, parents must also select a volunteer role for that meet.
- If we are short on volunteers, reminder emails will be sent.
