1.2 Mile Bay Swim Volunteer Registration

On Water Support for Swimmers High Priority

At least 12 more volunteers needed.

Details

Kayak or SUP support for the 150 swimmers during the the 1.2 mile point to point swim. Swim goes with the current South to North in the back bays of Avalon. Not a technical course, with only two 90 degree left turns. About a 60 minute time commitment on the water. All volunteers should check in at Avalon Yacht Club 1:45-2:15pm. You will be given a high visibility vest and a rescue whistle, if you do not have one. Thank you so much for your willingness to help us and our community charity event. Volunteers will get an event towel.

Location

What has worked best in previous years is to drop your kayak/SUP on the Please park in the far back north of the AYC lot after dropping your SUP/kayak off at the finish ramp. At approximately 2:30pm, the group of on water support volunteers all paddle with the incoming tide to the race start and wait/rest at the dock.

Volunteer safety briefing is at the starting dock around 2:45 PM. We will be ready to start the swim promptly at 3:00 PM. Swim finish is at the Avalon Yacht Club on 7th Street. Swimmers will finish between 3:25--3:45PM. There is a mandatory 60 minute swim cut off time for the swimmers to finish.
