Description

This team assists and cheers on our swimmers after they cross the finish line! Volunteers can expect to be at least thigh - deep in the water, offering a hand to any swimmer who needs it as they walk up the beach to receive their medal.  They will also guard the finish line area to prevent spectators from unintentionally interfering with the swimmers’ check in. YOU MUST WEAR WATER SHOES for this role- no flip flops! 

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

Parking for Jamestown volunteers is at the North Kingstown Route 1A and 138 Park N' Ride. Approximate address for GPS is 1820 Boston Neck Road, North Kingstown, R.I. Shuttles buses will take volunteers to the Swim finish line at Potter Cove, Jamestown.

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