In deciding to join our team,
you will need to know more about us. This summary will explain dues
and other fees, meets, organizational structure, and other general
information.
CAT Organization and Board of Directors
CAT is a parent-run, volunteer organization. The Board of
Directors is a parent elected representative body that meets
monthly and decides policy for the team. Issues that have to
do with the organizational aspects of the team should be addressed
to the board. The Board meetings (second Wednesday of the month)
are open to all parents. Each family is required to help the team
with fundraising events and organizational tasks throughout the
year. Should you decide to join the team, you will be asked
to sign up for volunteer committees at a later New Parent
Meeting. Email communication, the monthly newsletter and
flyers placed in your family mailbox will keep you informed.
Coaches
CAT coaches are paid employees of the parent Board.
They are highly trained professional individuals committed to
developing excellence for both the team and the individual
swimmers. They are happy to talk to parents and swimmers
about concerns and issues. Coaches may be contacted by
leaving a message on the CAT office phone, (766-6306) and they will
return your call. Please do not disturb the coaches while they are
on deck with the swimmers, as they are focusing on the swimmers and
the workout, the most important aspects of their job. They
are often available to parents immediately after workouts are
completed.
Handbook
CAT publishes a handbook containing in-depth information
about the team and swimming. Please read your copy of the
handbook. It will answer many questions for you. If you
have additional questions, feel free to ask other CAT parents, the
coaches or Laura Pfeifer (Administrative Assistant) on
deck or by email at
catofficemanager@aol.com.
Swim Meets
Each season, the coaches publish a list of area swim meets
considered important for the team. Different meets are appropriate
for different levels of swimmers. The meet entry information and
forms for these meets are placed in family mailboxes several weeks
before each meet. Entry procedures, deadlines, and fees are
explained on these flyers. Swim meet attendance is entirely
optional, especially for new and inexperienced swimmers. Coaches
will recommend appropriate meets to individual swimmers as skills
improve.
Administrative Assistants
Laura Pfeifer, a CAT parent, and Greg Bostrom, Age Group
Coach, are the Administrative Assistants in the CAT office.
Questions concerning any details of the team may be addressed to
them. Messages may be left at 766-6306 or via email
at catofficemanager@aol.com.
Welcome to the team! We hope
you and your swimmer(s) will find this experience to be a rich one,
full of personal growth, accomplishment and fun.
