Parent Volunteer Requirements
Just like other swim clubs, Lakeshore needs parental support to run the organization and raise additional income without impacting fees directly. The following mandatory requirements have been established to ensure that the club runs smoothly:
- One parent per family to volunteer for an administrative position. If you have more than one swimmer, you may be asked to do more than one job.
- All parents to complete the Swimming 101 clinic (aka Level 1 Timers Clinic) offered through Swim Ontario, and preferably Strokes & Turns Clinic
- All parents to participate in meet(s) run by LSC and donate refreshments for the meet(s).
- One parent per family to volunteer as an official for at least two other meets throughout the season.
Officials play an essential role in creating a good swimming environment for the swimmers. The Club offers Swimming 101 clinic periodically. In addition, all parents are encouraged to become qualified beyond the basic level by taking additional Swim Ontario Officials courses, e.g. Strokes and Turns Judge, Clerk of Course, etc. Swim Ontario holds a free officials' clinic in October and in March.
In 2008 OSOA tabled a recommendation to Swim Ontario asking for support in sanctioning meets. No club will get a sanction if they do not adhere to the plan. If we don't meet these requirements, we cannot host sanctioned meets, which would be a huge loss to our Club. We need senior officials in the club and have three different options ..

Level III: Completed Level II + three more courses + two on deck-evaluations in each of these 3 positions, for a total of five positions. In addition, you must attend the Referee's clinic and give one clinic in the presence of a Level IV/V official.
Receipt of your Level III certification must be approved by our Central Region Officials Representative.
