In order to enable Tidal Wave meets and events to run smoothly, efficiently, and to provide an excellent experience for our swimmers and families, we need help from parents for a variety of jobs throughout the season.  In order to facilitate this, each family is required to earn 5 service points by volunteering for jobs available at meets and team events.  Opportunities will be posted for each event.  

Families who wish to forgo this requirement are welcome to pay the Volunteer Opt-Out Fee listed below.  

The Tidal Waves Swim Association reserves the right to request a Volunteer Opt-Out Fee (in arrears, prorated based on service points earned) from families who do not choose this option as part of their registration and do not meet their service requirement. 

Volunteer Opt Out

Each participating family is required to earn at least 5 volunteer points over the course of the season.  Points are earned by fulfilling offered positions during meets.

If you do not wish to volunteer for any of our needed jobs, you may opt out of this by paying the volunteer opt-out fee of $125 per family.

Concussion Information & Signature Form

An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present. COVID-19 is an extremely contagious disease that can lead to severe illness and death. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, senior citizens and individuals with underlying medical conditions are especially vulnerable. The Chattanooga Area Swim League (CASL) and its member teams cannot prevent you (or your child(ren)) from becoming exposed to, contracting, or spreading COVID-19 while participating in CASL events. It is not possible to prevent against the presence of the disease. Therefore, if you choose to participate in a CASL event, you may be exposing yourself to and/or increasing your risk of contracting or spreading COVID-19. BY ATTENDING OR PARTICIPATING IN LEAGUE EVENTS, YOU VOLUNTARILY ASSUME ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH EXPOSURE TO COVID-19 AND FOREVER RELEASE AND HOLD HARMLESS THE CHATTANOOGA AREA SWIM LEAGUE AND ITS MEMBER TEAMS AND EACH OF THEIR OFFICERS OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVES FROM ANY LIABILITY OR CLAIMS INCLUDING FOR PERSONAL INJURIES, DEATH, DISEASE OR PROPERTY LOSSES, OR ANY OTHER LOSS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO CLAIMS OF NEGLIGENCE AND GIVE UP ANY CLAIMS YOU MAY HAVE TO SEEK DAMAGES, WHETHER KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, FORESEEN OR UNFORESEEN, IN CONNECTION WITH EXPOSURE, INFECTION, AND/OR SPREAD OF COVID-19 RELATED TO PARTICIPATION IN LEAGUE COMPETITIONS, PRACTICES, AND EVENTS.
