Wanted: Kayakers, Coaches, and Volunteers

We're expanding our staff of coaches and kayakers. We're open to those who come regularly or just fill in when our usual crew is unavailable. Some experience is required but some training is available.

We're also looking for volunteers to help at events with tasks like checking swimmers in, handing out shirts, and greeting the swimmers at the finish. Respond to this email if you want to get involved.
