A Board Member’s term is 3 years and each year 3 Board Members retire.
This ensures that we can start a new season with 6 experienced Board Members, who can impart their knowledge to the 3 new Board Members.

The Board's season begins each September and meets once a month. During May and June (the actual swim season) the Board will meet as needed.
