Join Our Event Volunteer Team!

We’re excited to host the 2025 John Shrum Chris Greene Lake Cable Swim event, and we need the help of dedicated volunteers like you to make it a success. As a volunteer, you’ll be right in the heart of the action—welcoming guests, assisting athletes, and ensuring everything runs smoothly from start to finish. No prior experience is required; all you need is enthusiasm, a positive attitude, and a willingness to help out–and possibly a kayak. Join us and help create an unforgettable experience for everyone involved!

Volunteer Notes


Setup and Cleanup crews will help get the final touches for the finish line of the race course setup and other logistics for setup on the beach, as well as tear down and cleanup after the event. This is a physical intensive activity.

Registration Table will help register all race participants, mark all swimmers, handout shits and caps, etc.

Kayakers will be in the water helping to monitor all race participants along side of the Rescue Squad. We do have a limited supply of extra kayaks, however it is recommended that all kayak volunteers provide their own kayaks.

Runners (finish line, race, and computer timing) will assist in transporting results and race status between the finish line recorder, the head timer, and the computer timer.

Race Finish Judge and Race Finish Order volunteers will be in the water at the finish line to assist swimmers as they finish the race and direct them to the race finish recorder.

Hospitality will assist in setting up refreshments for all race participants during the event and make sure everything is stocked up.
