Oakland, CA
Fundraising and Outreach
Temescal Aquatic Masters is a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation dedicated to promoting physical fitness, personal achievement, and camaraderie through recreational and competitive swimming.
Current Volunteer Opportunities
When employed coaches are not available for workout coverage, one of our volunteer coaches may step in for a short-term or longer-term basis. Volunteer coaches hold current lifeguard certification on file with our board, and they have been trained to follow TEME workout protocols and facility operations guidelines set forth by the City of Oakland.
In addition to the strength and support of its membership, our nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization relies on an established board of directors that oversees its governance, employment of coaches, and day-to-day operations of the team. We encourage members to join our monthly board meetings, find ways to support special events through committee work, and learn more about joining the board.
• Social Committee
The Social Committee plans and hosts numerous informal gatherings at the pool throughout the year. Notable events include coffee
meetups for Coach Appreciation Week and our Post-Holiday Party.
