Open Water Swimming

In our last post,  Chris Greene Lake race director Dave Holland noted that the swim’s success depends on the help of volunteers.  If you’re not swimming (or if you have a friend or family member who’s swimming and you’re going along for the trip) Dave could use your help.

He’s looking for the following volunteers for the July 11 event:

T-shirt distribution – 1 person to get the correct sizes to the swimmers as they check in.

Timing – 4 people

Finish line – 3 people, 2 in the water, one with Popsicle sticks (this is not a treat for the finishers.  The sticks have each swimmer’s order-of-finish number written on them.)

Finish table – 2 people to record and collect Popsicle sticks

Social – 2 people to prepare in the morning

I volunteered at Chris Greene 2 years ago.  My job was to keep people in their order of finish as they entered the “finish chute” after crossing the finish line. It was a great way to get an up-close perspective on some hotly-contested finishes.
