Please confirm whether or not the team may use any photos received from team practices and events for future use on the team website or in any news articles (i.e. Brookside Neighbors Magazine, Stockton Record, Facebook).  

We rely exclusively on parent and guardian help to run out swim meets.  There are many opportunities to serve and not all roles require any 'heavy lifting.'  For each swimmer, we ask that a guardian work a minimum of 3 shifts across all our home meets for the month of June.  By signing up for a shift via the Swimtopia app or with our volunteer coordinator AND fulfilling the shift you will avoid a penalty of $100 per swimmer registered.  

Please confirm that your primary residence is part of the Brookside Master Association.  

This contract shall be considered effective as of the date and time filed with the San Joaquin Summer Swim Alliance and shall continue in force until the swimmer is released in accordance with the operation rules. 

**If swimmer is a member of USA Swimming, it is the responsibility of the swimmer to notify League Coordinator if they are entered to swim a USA Swimming meet prior to the meet, during the SJSSA season. Swimmer is also required to notify league coordinator within 24 hours of achieving of a new best time.
