Parents & Volunteers

The Yellowjacket Swim Team cannot run without the support of the parents and volunteers.

Volunteers are needed to work at the swim meets as timers, officials, announcer, snack bar helpers and more.

SWIM MEET HELPERS:
All swim meets are officiated by SSL volunteers. Additionally, there are numerous other positions that must be filled by family members. Support the Yorklyn Yellow Jackets by signing-up to volunteer at our swim meets. If you need help selecting a job that’s right for you - just reach out to Karen Cook and Amee Wendle at swimteam@yorklynpool.com.

SNACK BAR:
Welcome the Yorklyn Swim Team Snack Bar! Snack Bar is a main source of funding for Swim Team events (breakfast bars, award ceremonies, team banquet). Our goals are to feed our swimmers, families and guests during swim meets, support team events, and have fun!!  We ask that each family donate food items to at least two of our home meets. Also, at the beginning of the season, we request that each family donates one of the following to our snack bar:

  • A case of 12oz Gatorade OR

  • A case of any Coca-Cola brand soda (Coke, Diet Coke, Spirit, Barqs) OR

  • A case of standard-size candy (Skittles, Starburst, Twizzlers, Nerd Clusters or Ropes - anything gummy or chewy - but please no chocolate) OR

  • If it is easier, you can purchase items directly from our Amazon Wish List OR

  • Venmo Jen (@Jennifer-deJohnge) $10
