Volunteers Needed
We would like for you to join us as a volunteer at our 17th Annual Big Swim on Saturday, April 28. Help support each child as they stand on a diving block, hear the starting gun, and swim a 25 yard-lap, racing to the finish with the roar of the crowd urging them on. Every child experiences the fun, camaraderie, and sense of accomplishment that swimming in a meet provides - and it would not be possible without the efforts of nearly 200 volunteers.
Volunteers are needed in all areas - including registration, timing, distributing T-shirts, and handing out medals — and are all led by a friendly Asphalt Green staff person.
Volunteers should arrive no later than 9:30am for check-in, and can expect to finish the day by 4:30pm.
