Enrollment for the Ederle Swim is ongoing. A couple of BIG changes for 2012: We're moving the swim from October to August for more temperate conditions and expanding the field to RELAYS. Policies and Application Procedures are now available.

General enrollment for both the Manhattan Island Relays and the Manhattan Island Marathon Swim is now closed. Enrollment for Corporate relays/teams interested in the June MIMS will remain open until all slots are filled or May 18, 2012, whichever occurs first. If fewer than five corporate relays/teams enroll, the unused slots will NOT be reallocated to solo or other relay categories. Corporate relay enrollment for the August Manhattan Island Relays will remain open until all slots are filled or July 4, 2012, whichever occurs first. If fewer than five corporate relays enroll for this event, the unused slots will NOT be reallocated to other relay categories.

2011 Swim Series

Congratulations to all of the swimmers in the Ederle Swim, our final swim event this season. It was a record-breaking Manhattan finish for Evan Morrison who swam the Sandy Hook, NJ-to-Manhattan course in 5:24:52. Full results have been posted on the event page. A special thanks goes out to all of the volunteers who rallied to help make this event possible after it was rescheduled.

Enjoy the off season and remember: it's never too early to start planning your 2012 event schedule.

New Records Around Manhattan!

Wednesday's Match Race was one for the record books! Rondi Davies finished in 5:44:47, breaking all records in a truly amazing effort pushing hard straight to the finish. She'd started 11 minutes ahead of Ollie Wilkinson, who came in just over 10 minutes later, 5:44:02, rewriting the books once again. Ollie has the overall and men's record, and Rondi the women's and American record. We're exhausted and inspired just watching. CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Since 1993, NYC Swim has attracted well over 10,000 participants in more than 125 swimming races, thus helping to revive a local aquatic tradition that had been abandoned for nearly a century. In 2010, it was recognized for its work by being inducted into the International Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame.

Showcasing many of the sights that make New York famous, our premier events are the Liberty Island, Manhattan Island Marathon, Brooklyn Bridge and Governors Island swims. In addition, NYC Swim will host seven other events of various distances in 2012 including a multi-sport race and the Ederle Swim.
