Swim Marathon

Medical Support Volunteer

Please be aware that we may send you emails or texts on important news about the race.

We utilize medical support volunteers from AMR on our official medical boats. We also seek additional medical support volunteers for our solo swimmers and two-person relay teams. Due to safety concerns plus limited space on relay team escort boats, we do not place medical support on relay team boats. Please register below if you are willing to fulfill one of the medical roles stated above. Thank you for your understanding!
