SWIM ANGEL EXPECTATIONS
When someone is just starting out and feeling a bit uncomfortable getting in the open water the first few times, they may request a Swim Angel.
Swim Angel volunteers sign-up to guide, motivate, educate and support up to two swimmers who have requested a Swim Angel. The ratio is 1 Swim Angel to 2 Swimmers.
Please be aware, Swim Angels are NOT lifeguards and all swimmers swim at their own risk.
Volunteer Swim Angels: Please arrive before the beginner wave starts to meet the member(s) who have requested one.
If there are no requests, you are able to swim on your own!
