2025 State Swimming Championship - Sebastian

Special Olympics Florida is excited to be hosting the State Swimming Championships in Sebastian, Florida on September 27th & 28th.

 Hundreds of athletes from across the state will be competing and we need your help to make it a success! Special Olympics Florida relies almost exclusively on volunteers and cannot do what we do without you.

 Volunteers will assist with the following tasks:

• Assist with set-up and breakdown of the venue.
• Check in athletes for the competition and escort them to their lane assignments.
• Serve as timers for the competition. 
• Distribute results between the pool, competition HQ and awards locations.
• Assist with distributing lunch to volunteers and participants. 
• Assist with preparing and presenting awards. 

Contact us at [email protected] to register for the following opportunities: 

• Competition Announcer: Use a provided script to announce athletes as at the beginning of their race as well as general announcements. Volunteers should have a public speaking or acting background and be comfortable using a microphone. 

No knowledge of the sport is required and all training will be provided on-site. Volunteers should be at least 11 years old and all volunteers under 14 must be accompanied by a registered parent/guardian for the duration of the volunteer shift. 

 All volunteers will receive a volunteer T-shirt as well as lunch during their shift. A record of community service hours can be provided if requested.
