Save the Bay Swim is Save The Bay’s largest fundraiser, and we need lots of volunteers to support our swimmers! This event celebrates our vision of a swimmable, fishable, healthy, and accessible Bay for everyone. 500 swimmers and 200 kayakers traverse 1.7 miles from Newport to Jamestown to raise money and awareness for Save The Bay.
GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT VOLUNTEERING AT THE SWIM:
There are two locations: the starting line at the Newport Naval Base, and the finish line at Potter Cove in Jamestown. Volunteer roles include kayak inspection, kayak unloading, parking, handing out water at the finish line, assisting with food, trash and recycling, and more. Register your interest here and we will provide you with details on the different roles so you can select your preferred team, or you can visit www.savebay.org/volunteer.

About Save The Bay

Mission Statement
Save The Bay protects, restores and improves the ecological health of the Narragansett Bay region, including its watershed and adjacent coastal waters, through an ecosystem-based approach to environmental action; defends the right of the public to use and enjoy the Bay and its surrounding waters; and fosters an ethic of environmental stewardship among people who live in or visit the Narragansett Bay region.
Description
Save The Bay was founded on the community's desire to protect our most precious resource - Narragansett Bay. To do that, Save The Bay has focused on the development of a committed constituency for the Bay. Children and adults throughout this region have learned the tremendous value the Bay brings to our economy, our environment and our quality of life.
In defense of Narragansett Bay and its watershed, Save The Bay has watched over the activities and programs of the government and the citizenry that degrade the environmental quality of the Bay, basin, and watershed. Save The Bay provides educational opportunities for children and adults to explore the Bay, fostering a understanding and a sense of personal responsibility for the resource.
