NYC SWIM

2010 Swim Series

Join us this weekend for the swim 'round Governors Island. The event is sold out, but you can still take the ferry over and cheer on your favorite swimmer(s). Check out the Race Day Info section on the Governors Island Swim web page for details on early morning ferry service available for spectators. After Sunday, we'll be on a short break until September's Brooklyn Bridge and Little Red Lighthouse Swims.

Congratulations to all of the participants in the recent Stars & Stripes: Aquathlon and Riverside Park Tune Up Swim, and a heartfelt thank you to all of the volunteers who helped make such a large event possible. Beginning in 2011, the Riverside Park Tune Up Swim will become the 'Swim-Only' option in the Stars & Stripes: Aquathlon and Swim. For all results, event pictures and future enrollments, please go the Stars & Stripes: Aquathlon and Swim event page.
