Volunteer Information

The Dunn Loring Swim & Dive program could not operate without the effort of volunteers from each family. We ask that each family volunteer 15 hours over the course of the swim team season. Families can sign up to volunteer on SwimTopia for each of the events on our calendar. In addition, there are a number of season-long volunteer coordinator roles as well as one-off volunteer opportunities. A description of each of these roles and jobs can be found under the VOLUNTEER tab. Please reach out to any of the team reps with questions about what you may be interested in helping with!

Communications

• Weekly emails: Email with pertinent information are sent to the email address provided upon registration. If you want to include additional family members to receive these updates, please log in and update your profile in SwimTopia.
• Facebook: The Dunn Loring Swim and Dive team Facebook page is a forum for families to post and ask questions related to swim team, share photos from events, etc. Please request access; the Facebook page is private.

Health & Safety Considerations

• Sick Policy – Consistent with the pool policy, swimmers who are sick should not come to the pool for swim practice, meets or other events and should not return until they have thoroughly recovered to reduce the risk of spreading illnesses at the pool.
• Allergies, Special Medical Considerations & Food – Please make sure that the medical portion of your swimmer’s profile is updated in SwimTopia. There will be food.  If your swimmer has any dietary restrictions, please let us know!
• Concussion Awareness - Dunn Loring, as well as all NVSL teams have a concussion policy in place with coach education and certification.  The policy follows the CDC’s Heads Up Concussion training and certification for coaches   Parents are requested to view the Concussion fact sheet located here.
• Weather-related closures – Any weather related closures that impact a swim and/or dive team event will be announced as quickly as possible via the SwimTopia app as well as posted on the Dunn Loring Swim & Dive Team Facebook page.
