Help ensure the safety of our athletes during the open water swim clinic! We are looking for experienced kayakers to act as on-water spotters and safety anchors.
Equipment: Please bring your own kayak/craft, paddle, and a USCG-approved PFD (life jacket).
Safety Requirements: All volunteers must be proficient in their craft and must be able to self-rescue in the event of a capsize.
Athlete Support: You will be provided with life tubes to attach to your craft. These are for athletes to hold onto if they need a rest or assistance; you are not expected to pull them, but to act as a stationary or slow-moving float.
Communication: A handheld radio will be provided to you for the duration of the clinic to stay in contact with the lead safety coordinator and medical staff.
Location: Lake Walter E. Long (Walter E. Long Metropolitan Park). Please arrive 20 minutes early for a safety briefing.
