It was a cold Sunday. At the end of my swimming training with the Downtown Swimming Club, Phillip and Lucy approached me to see if I was interested to be the volunteer coordinator for All OUT Swim 2013. Naively, I accepted the position. It seemed to be fun. I did not have any idea about the scope and the amount of work needed. Nonetheless, I was very happy that I would be able to meet a lot of people, especially because I am new in Toronto and I do not know a lot of people.
