Let us know if you'd like to be on a list to receive email alerts about this event.


Thank you to all who swam, kayaked and volunteered in the 2009 event. An event of this magnitude would not be possible without your support.  I do hope you will join us again this year as we continue to fight blood cancer and ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) all by conquering The Hudson River!

Sincerely,
Diandra Kodl

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 make 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.
