Baltimore Harbor 1-Mile Swim Volunteer Registration

Water Safety - Paddler (Kayak or Standup Paddleboard) High Priority

June 7, 2026

7:30 am EDT - 11:30 am EDT (At least 14 more needed)

Details

The heart of our volunteer crew. Whether you are on a kayak or stand up paddleboard (SUP), we need YOU to help keep our swimmers safe.

Swimmers will be able to stop and hang on to your vessel, but you will not be able to provide forward movement. If someone is in need of help, or wants to be removed, you will signal to the motorized vessels for a jet ski, who will take the swimmer.

While it is encouraged for volunteers to have their own vessels, kayak and paddle boards are available for Water Safety volunteers to use via B'more SUP x Capital SUP (complimentary) rentals.
