Long Course Volunteer Policy - Points Requirements Long Course Volunteer Policy - Points Requirements

Please note the following volunteering requirements for the Long Course season:


  • All families with only 1 swimmer will be responsible for 2 points of volunteering for the Long Course season
  • All families with 2 or more swimmers will be responsible for 3 points of volunteering for the Long Course season
  • Families with only 1 swimmer in the Waves group will be exempt from Long Course points requirement, as there is no GSCY-hosted meet for Waves
  • Families with 1 swimmer in Waves and another swimmer in an older group will be responsible for 2 points of volunteering


All jobs except officials will be worth 1 point during the Long Course Season. Officials volunteering will receive 2 points per session.


To determine the points requirement, an analysis was conducted of the jobs required for the two GSCY-hosted meets for the Long Course Season: Long Course Cup, and Gold Championships. The points requirement was then aligned to the total number of families registered in Long Course to finalize the points requirement.
