Park to Park Swim

The Park to Park Swim is always among our most popular events. With water temperatures in the mid-60s, organized during slack tide, and an afternoon start time, this one-Mile swim on the Hudson provides great views of both Manhattan and the Palisades as well as an excellent opportunity, albeit at a slower speed, to preview the final portion of the Little Red Lighthouse Swim course.

After the event, all racers, volunteers, and their friends are invited to join the NYC Swim staff at Coogan's Restaurant (Broadway at 169th Street) for an informal pay-as-you-go party.

Course Description

Participants will enter the water at a small sandy beach in Fort Washington Park (165th Street) swim south, between the inner and outer line of boats and staying parallel to and at least 40 yards from the shore line, turnaround at race mark and swim north, between the inner line of boaters and the shore line, back to the swim start.
