Swim Buddies

As a Swim Buddies Volunteer, you will be paired one on one with a participant to provide encouragement and hands on support during swim instruction. Volunteers assist participants with:  

• Practicing swim skills and techniques presented by swim instructors 

• Providing motivation and positive reinforcement 

• Helping ensure safety and comfort in the water 

• Building meaningful connections through patience and play 

What to Bring and Wear:  

To best support our participants, volunteer should come prepared with: 

• Appropriate swim attire (e.g., full coverage one-piece swimsuit, or swim shorts and a t-shirt)  

• Sun protection (sunscreen, hat, etc.)  

• Towel and change of clothes 

• Reusable water bottle to stay hydrated 

No prior swim instruction or swim experience is required – just a positive attitude and a willingness to support individuals with varying needs in the water.  

Please join the band app to receive updates regarding volunteer opportunities. While programming, I do not receive messages via Give Pulse. Either message me on Band or text/call at 954-270-4959.
