The Sea Dragons Parent Advisory Committee (SDPAC)
The Sea Dragons Parent Advisory Committee SDPAC), whose membership includes all USA registered Sea Dragons swimmers' parents, assists in many aspects of the Sea Dragons swim team program. During the swim season, activities include supporting and assisting the coaching staff, fund raising, purchasing of equipment, setting up and running meets and other activities that are necessary to support the team. To perform all the tasks needed to be done volunteers are always needed (See below).
The parents' efforts are greatly appreciated by the coaches and swimmers. The Y Swim Team is a YMCA program, and the coaches are employed by the YMCA. The Parents’ Advisory Committee is designed to support the coaches and enhance the swimming program. All coaching concerns should always be referred to the coaching staff, since it is not the responsibility of the Parents' Advisory Committee.
The Parents' Association is represented by a five member board, which provides administrative, financial and general support for the Y's swim team program. All parents need to get involved and take an active role in making the program a fun and rewarding experience. We urge you to attend the parents’ meetings that are held during the swim season and to contact any member of the executive committee if you have questions or concerns. Your interest and support of our team contribute to and are important to the success of Sea Dragons swimming.
The Sea Dragons Parent Advisory Committee is an organization of interested parents like you and we welcome your contributions. If you would like to contribute in any way, please feel free to tell any committee member of your interest. Any parent or swimmer is welcome to attend the meetings and participate. If you have a significant concern that you wish to discuss, please inform the Committee in advance so you can be placed on the agenda.
The Parent Advisory Committee and Head Coach and any interested parents meet monthly at the YMCA (second Thursday of each month). Watch the Sea Dragons Web Site (http://YMCASeadragons.usswim.net) for times, updates and changes.
