Swim Across America – New York Athletic Club Pool Swim

Join the 21st Annual Swim Across America – Long Island Sound Pool Swim at The New York Athletic Club at Travers Island to make waves to fight cancer. Swimmers may swim 1/2-mile, 1-mile or form relay teams. Team participation is encouraged and can consist of friends and family that participate together as a group, often times in honor or in memory of an individual. Teams must have at least 5 swimmers. A team of 5 – 10 swimmers, must raise at least $5,000 – participants high school age or younger are encouraged to raise at least $250; those 18 and older must raise $500. A swimmer may be part of a team, no matter in which venue they elect to swim. Shower and changing facilities provided. Swimmers are invited to stay after the swim for a complimentary barbecue!

To raise awareness and inspire young swimmers, Swim Across America will be offering a fun buy-one, give-one campaign offering supporters a chance to get a Dash the Dolphin, Swim Across America’s mascot and plush toy for a $30 donation — for each plush toy purchased, a second plush toy will be gifted to a pediatric cancer patient at Memorial Sloan Kettering Kids and NewYork-Presbyterian Children’s Hospital through the swim’s KIDS Swimming FOR KIDS program.
