Automatic team sign up is not enabled for this opportunity. Contact July Lewis at volunteer@savebay.org if you would like to register a team!

This team is for people who are ready to go deep! Positioned in and around the finish line in the water, these volunteers will funnel swimmers toward the finish line and be ready to assist any swimmer who might need a little help. You will be waist to chest deep in water and may wear a wetsuit, bathing suit, or shorts. YOU MUST WEAR WATER SHOES for this role - no flip flops!

Although not required, this may be an especially good role for you if:

  • You have a wetsuit 
  • You have lifeguard training
  • You are tall
  • You are a strong swimmer

All Jamestown volunteers will also help with beach setup and breakdown.

We have many volunteer roles at The Swim! To view the full list, visit the Swim Volunteer Page.   

Any questions or difficulty registering? Contact July Lewis at volunteer@savebay.org We want you on our team!
