Message from Eric Ridgway, Founder and Director
Thank you so much for all of your enthusiastic encouragement of this event year after year. The 2008 Long Bridge Swim was a splashing success! Please remember to thank our community volunteers and business sponsors whenever you see them. Without them, we couldn't have all of the fun of doing this crazy swim!
