Description
The Cross Bay Swim is a challenging open water swim of 5.5 miles across Great South Bay from the Fire Island Lighthouse to Gilbert Park, Brightwaters. This event was first held in 1927, marking 95+ years of tradition and friendly competition. There is a strict limit on the number of swimmers accepted.
We fund the Hospice Care Network Children and Family Bereavement program, and a scholarship at St. Anthony's High School through your charitable fundraising for the event. Each swimmer must raise a minimum of $500. Thank you!
