We are a group of Masters swimmers, doing the 20 Bridges Swim
Its a 28.5-mile (48.5-kilometer) swim around Manhattan Island traditionally completed in a counter-clockwise direction.
A full loop, through three “rivers” that are actually all tidal straits or estuaries; The East River; The Harlem River and The Hudson.​
​​
We are raising funds for 4 causes close to our hearts:
1. Asphalt Green - saves lives by waterproofing (teaching children to swim) and transforms lives by awarding Swim for the Future Scholarships to deserving swimmers. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
2. Riverkeeper - fight for clean water in the Hudson River and New York City’s drinking water supply.
3. Epilepsy Foundation - stop seizures, find a cure and overcome the challenges created by epilepsy
4. Parkinson's Foundation - find a cure
