Volunteer Opportunities

As an all-volunteer organization, CIBBOWS relies on volunteers to help put on all our programs and events and to help build our community. Volunteering is a great way to meet fellow swimmers! Please consider contributing to our community in the following ways:

Behind all our races and timed events is a small army of volunteers who help with everything from setting up course equipment, signing in participants, assisting with the catering, helping with course safety, and otherwise ensuring that participants have a great experience. Some volunteer roles are involved in pre-race planning. Most roles are needed only on the day of the event. Look for announcements requesting volunteers via email and newsletters.

Greet new swimmers and community members to the beach on the weekends during the summer. They greet folks who look like they might be newbies, assist with making sure people coming out for a weekend program connect with the right program leader, help hand out swim caps, distribute swag, and answer any questions. Volunteers commit to a 2-hour timeslot (9:30 am to 11:30 am.)

A year-long commitment to assist the Board in the ongoing planning and implementation of CIBBOWS events and programs. Nominations and expressions of interest are solicited every October. We try to match Advisory Board members to the projects that most interest them. Meetings are held throughout the year – conducted mostly via video conference.
