For Parents

Here are the basics about the world of USA Swimming.  Discover how you can get involved and help your child enjoy all the benefits of competitive swimming.

Your Role in Your Child’s Sport

As a parent of a swimmer, your major responsibility is to be enthusiastic and supportive of your child, and to show that you support them and their team. You can show your interest by ensuring your child’s attendance at all practices, helping out at meets, planning social functions, and by cheering for the team. Furthermore, having at least one parent in attendance at team meetings also reflects your overall support of your child’s sport.

Every parent is expected to participate in some capacity with the swim team. Swim meets need to be staffed with volunteers in all areas. As officials, timers, marshals, hospitality support, data handlers, and many other necessary positions. Without parental participation, holding a successful swim meet is virtually impossible. Training will be made available for these different positions so don’t worry if you’ve not participated in one of these roles before. The Makos rely on your support to make our team’s many events successful and fun!

We want you to have the opportunity to ask any questions, or provide your comments regarding any concerns you may have with the team. Please use the following email address comments@morganhillmakos.com to submit your questions or to provide feedback. Your inquiry will go directly to a board member who will be happy to respond to you.

Thank you in advance for your initiative and your ideas!
