Canby swim club Structure
The Canby Swim Club is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization. We are an athlete centered, coach-directed, parent-supported organization which relies heavily on parent volunteers to be successful. Coaches are the only paid employees. All dues, fees and time go toward what is needed to support the team and swimmers.
The coaching staff are responsible for everything in the pool; tryouts, practice schedules, swimmer placement, dryland and swim training, and choosing events for individual swimmers at meets. They are all USA swimming certified and paid employees of the club.
The CB Board of Directors are responsible for all administrative, business and operational activities of the club. They are all volunteers who put in many hours to support our swimmers.
