Volunteer registration for the 2024 event will open in spring 2024.

Volunteers are the lifeblood of the
Boston Light Swim

Volunteers are an enormous part of making the Boston Light Swim run. Because we reward volunteers (who meet the volunteer requirements and are qualified to participate in the BLS) with lottery-free entry to the following year's swim, demand for the limited volunteer slots is high.

This year, we are only looking for volunteers on Friday 8/9 to help with check in and at the finish line.

Note: Crewing for a swimmer DOES NOT qualify you to bypass the swimmer lottery the following year.
