NEWPORT VOLUNTEERING NOW CLOSED TO REGISTRATION EXCEPT for Parking, and for anyone who has military clearance to the Navy base. Please feel free to register if you have clearance or would like to do parking. Jamestown roles still open to registration.
Volunteers write each swimmer's number on his or her swim cap and arm. Volunteers on this team must have large, clear writing and not have a problem with transposing numbers.
Volunteers will park at the Newport Grand Casino, 150 Admiral Kalbfus Road, Newport, and take a shuttle into the base. Naval security is strict. On Swim Day, you must follow these instructions:
- Park at the Newport Grand Casino
- Bring your LICENSE to the table with Navy Security near the Shuttles.
