OUR MISSION: Since its inception over 18 years ago, the mission of the Hudson River Swim for Life has been to raise awareness of the Hudson River, promote swimming as a lifelong form of fitness, and to raise funds for the ongoing efforts of charities in the community. Overall, the event has raised approximately $1.8 million for local non-profit organizations.
OUR ENVIRONMENTAL MISSION: To ma ke the swim's environmental impact as small as possible and to raise awareness among athletes about their role in environmental sustainability.
The swim is going green this year by providing reusable mesh bags to all of the swimmers, handing out reusable water bottles that can be refilled at our watering stations, and recycling containers will be displayed throughout the park. |
