Every Swim Needs a Crew

Marathon swimming is more than a sport, it’s a community.

Every successful swim relies not just on the athlete, but on the volunteers, organisers, crews, and supporters who make it possible.

Volunteers are the heart of marathon swimming.

From supporting event delivery to assisting swimmers during solo attempts, your involvement makes a real difference. Opportunities include:

  • Helping at marathon swim events — registration, logistics, timing, and safety support.

  • Joining a support vessel crew — observing swims, recording data, or ensuring safety.

  • Paddling in a kayak alongside swimmers — guiding them on course and providing encouragement.

  • Assisting with administration, communications, or historical projects that preserve our sport’s legacy.

Whether you’re an experienced swimmer, a club member, or simply passionate about the ocean, there’s a place for you. By volunteering, you’ll be part of an inspiring community and play a role in helping swimmers achieve extraordinary goals.
