Details
Prior kayaking experience is required
and must be 16 years of age or older.
Monitor our athletes during the race. You will be
positioned around the entire course,
and
help guide straying swimmers back onto
the course, while keeping spectator
boats off the
course. Kayakers are often the first
point of contact for swimmers who are
seeking assistance. You may provide a
resting place for swimmers to
momentarily catch their breath or a
place to hold onto
while they massage out a cramp.
***Most importantly*** you will have
the lead responsibility for detecting
swimmers in distress, making the
initial
contact, and, if needed, initiating a
rescue.***
You must be able to provide your own
boat, paddle, whistle, and PFD. (if
you
have kayaking experience but do not
have
your own kayak, please note that in
the
comments field - we often have extra
kayaks)
