Jersey Shore Swim Parents Recognized by YMCA For Their Volunteer Efforts

An analysis done during the 2010-2011 YMCA swim season showed that parents donated 1360 hours to the Jersey Shore YMCA swim program.  That blog posting can be read here.  When you put a dollar value on that, it comes out to $27,893.60 (the estimated dollar value of volunteer time for Pennsylvania is $20.51 per hour for 2010, according to the Independent Sector, a coalition of charities, foundations, corporations, and individuals that publishes research important to the nonprofit sector).

The Jersey Shore YMCA recognized these efforts by the dedicated swim parents by awarding them this year's volunteer award (picture below).

Jersey Shore Swim Parents - Will Travel to Water

In order for Jersey Shore swimmers to get to all the meets this past very busy weekend (YMCA Pentathlon at LHU, USA Last Chance Meet at PSU, and High School PIAA District 4 meet at Bucknell U., see results here) they usually need a parent or two to cart them around. 

Swim parent Shelley Moore saw it all this past weekend!  Look at her pictures as she travelled around central Pennsylvania to catch all the Jersey Shore swimming action.
