Annual Fundraising Requirement - Youth

To meet O2 Performance Aquatics financial obligations as a team, fundraising is a vital component of our income. Each year in the spring, O2 hosts a Swim-a-Thon where swimmers of every age-group level participate. Each swimmer is required to raise a minimum of $250 for this event whether they actually participate or not. Receiving pledges from friends and family is generally the way to accomplish this goal. If this goal is not met by each swimmer, the $250 (or difference between $250 and what is raised by each swimmer) will be assessed on the next invoice. (Family max is $300) Termination from the team does not release the member from these obligations. (note O2 is a 501(c)(3) organization all donations are tax deductible)  

Family Service Hours Requirement - Youth

O2 Performance Aquatics is a non-profit organization run solely by it member families. We strive to keep our rates as low as possible and still provide a quality program for our athletes. Our volunteers are our lifeblood. Each family is expected to provide a minimum of 10 hours of service for team activities throughout the year.  There are many service opportunities, for example: Swim-a-Thon, team social activities, timing for swim meets, and food donations. 

These hours may be provided by any member of the family or by extended family. A $20 per hour fee will be assessed on the August invoice for any volunteer hours not fulfilled.
