VOLUNTEER ASSESSMENT INFORMATION
What is a Volunteer Assessment?
SKSC is a non-profit swim club. To help keep programming costs down volunteering in an essential part of the program. Parents who participate help the club to grow and offer quality program development for all athletes. Being a part of your athletes commitment to swimming shows them that you value their sport and support their effort and dedication. Parent participation is important to your child's success in the club.
How Does It Work?
Each season, each swimmer has a set amount of job credits that a family needs to earn to meet their volunteer assessment. You earn job credits by volunteering or participating in important club meetings.
You have until June 30th each season to earn towards your volunteer assessment total. Any unearned portion of your assessment gets invoiced and billed on July 1st. If you meet or exceed your required job credits, no billing of the volunteer assessment occurs. Extra credits over assessment are not carried forward and have no monetary value.
What Is the Amount I Have To Earn?
For both the Adult Masters program and Royal Knights Academy, no volunteer assessment is required. For our Development, Competitive and Community Fitness programs, you can find the amount for your group below.
For families with more than 1 swimmer in the club, the most advanced swimmer is assessed 100% of the assessment. The 2nd most advanced swimmer, is assessed 60%. 3rd and subsequent swimmers in the family are not assessed a volunteer assessment.
How Do I Earn Job Credits?
Volunteer assessments are designed to be earned off easily. We acknowledge that our member's time is important, so we want to make it easy for those who partipate and help our club improve and excel.
You can earn job credits through volunteering at:
•SKSC Hosted Meets or other events
•Non-SKSC Hosted Meets that our swimmers attend
•Board or other volunteer positions within the club
•Taking or teaching Officiating Clinics
•Attending AGM, General Meetings and other important meetings

HOW DO I LOG IN MY POINTS?
SKSC Events
Any SKSC events or Officials Clinics that have positions available that earn job credits will have a job sign up sheet. At the event itself, please make sure to check in with the host or Administration Desk (formerly Clerk of Course). If you sign up at the event itself for a volunteer position, please note your account name and swimmer's name so we can assign points correctly. Afterwards we cross check the sign in sheet with the job sign up online, and add credits.
Non-SKSC Hosted Events
For any swim meet that SKSC attends that is not hosted by our club, please fill out the Non-SKSC Hosted Meet Volunteer Form (found under the Parents Tab). Then within about a month the points will be added to your account.
Other SKSC Volunteering
For other volunteering such as board positions, these points will be added to your account by our administrator.
