NYCkayaker The Hudson River Swim For Life

[Richard Clifford]

NYCKayaker:
    I am involved with the swim and event and ask for those of you who 
are available to please help us with this event. Many thanks, Richard 
Clifford

        On *Sunday, September 7th* join us for *The Hudson River Swim
    For Life*. This is a 3.1 mile swim from Sleepy Hollow, NY to Nyack,
    NY. This year there will also be a 1-mile swim option along the
    shores of Sleepy Hollow. Swimmers will conquer the river in the
    shadow of the Tappan Zee Bridge, as kayakers and boaters assist them
    for safety.  Last year there were 250 swimmers in the water who
    raised just over $200,000. This year we are expecting over 450
    individuals to participate and an audience of over 4,000 to attend
    the day long event in the park. 

     

        The Hudson River Swim For Life was created to raise awareness of
    the Hudson River, promote swimming as a life long form of fitness,
    and raise funds for the ongoing work of The Leukemia & Lymphoma
    Society, in conjunction with Friends of Claire, a non-profit raising
    funds for ALS. 

     

        Kayakers are essential in the success of our event. Please visit
