Recruiting Team Captains for Pool to 5k/10k
APPLY TO LEAD OUR AMAZING SQUAD!
We are recruiting 4 team captains to assist the Mighty Mermaids at the She Is Beautiful 5k/10k on September 12. Team captains will help us ensure all team members have a fantastic race experience. Captains will be matched with an appropriate pace group (walkers, fast walkers, walk/runners, joggers, or runners). At the SIB race, captains will support their assigned group through conversation & positive encouragement, and they will assist with taking photos & helping with basic needs, like applying sunscreen or carrying car keys.
Team captains will also take on a leadership role in the 10-week Pool to 5k summer pool training program, helping to promote camaraderie within the squad, ensuring new members feel supported, and pushing the squad to achieve their goals. To show our appreciation, we will discount the cost of Pool to 5K to just $285 for team captains (that’s $165 off!). Other incentives will be provided; details to follow.
To apply to become a team captain, please fill out this application. No prior water fitness experience or road racing experience is required. Completing the application does not guarantee a position as a captain. If offered a captain position, clients will still have the opportunity to decline.
Expectations of Team Captains
Must be able to participate in at least 75% of Pool to 5k workouts
Must agree to lead a pace group for the Mighty Mermaids at the SIB race (race entry fees are to be paid separately)
Must try to recruit 1-2 (or more!) team members
Must be open to organizing a social event of your choice with the other captains (i.e. a team meet-up for Concerts in the Park or Fiesta, brunch, post-workout coffee, happy hour, etc)
Must be willing to lead weekly team walk/run meetups at a designated location. This responsibility will be shared among captains & coaches.
“Thank you for giving me the opportunity to participate in Pool to 5k as a team captain. Honestly, the entire experience exceeded my expectations! I knew I would meet new people (I’m new to the area) and I assumed I’d be getting a bit of a workout in the process. What I did NOT expect, however, was how GREAT the people were and how EXCELLENT the workouts would be! I feel so fortunate to have discovered the Anderson Aquatics family and I look forward to many more wet workouts in my future!”
