Volunteer Requirements &
Family Points System
The Kitimat Marlins are a member-run not-for-profit organization that relies on the participation of the membership for its "on-deck" and "off-deck" activities. All member families of KMSC are required to raise funds for the club and ensure its future.
KMSC uses a point based system to track family participation activities. Each family must accumulate the requisite number of points each year by participating in fundraising events. These activities are assigned different point values based on several factores including time, effort, skill level and knowledge.
Each swimmer has an amount of points allocated to the swim group they are in:
| Group | Points | Yearly Points Cost |
| Mini Marlins | 10 | $300 |
| Blue | 12 | $360 |
| Bronze | 15 | $450 |
| Silver | 20 | $600 |
| Gold | 22 | $660 |
| Swim Fit | 12 | $350 |
Points Participation System
- If there are multiple swimmers in your family the child in the top group will be allocated full points and any other siblings will be allocated 1/2 points for the group they are in
- Anyone may volunteer on behalf of a family member. This can include older siblings, grandparents or friends or another KMSC member
- Families are not permitted to carry over points from one season to the following season
- Points cannot be transferred from one family to another event
- For each point not complete a charge of $30 will be added to your account.
- There shall be no exception to this policy unless activities for earning points have not been provided
- Roles that indicate either half or full points are the points for one athlete.
