SWIM FREE IN THE NEWS
Swim Free launched its Swim Free Angel™ program, an initiative that helps comfort people, young and old, who are anxious in and around the water. The Angels will provide support shore-side and in the water, offering encouragement and coping mechanisms to help people overcome their fears. To participate, please fill out at Swim Free contact form.
Swim Free was mentioned in the Wall Street Journal 6/12 article about the Manhattan Island Marathon Swim. Congratulations to all the marathon swimmers!
The 5 Borough Bike Tour, Swim Free's first event, was an enormous success, with the Bike NY entries selling out immediately. Thank you to those of you who participated! We hope you had a great time.
EVENTS
Tickets now available! Join us for a sunset benefit cruise on the Viking Superstar in Montauk NY on August 21st from 7:00 - 9:00.

Swim around Manhattan this fall before the season unwinds.
